iv got a quick question; iv been throwin down some handbrakies recently (some on road some on grass) and my handbrake seams to be geting a bit stuck when its been on overnight. is this due to the handbrakies or is it totally unrealted. iv only had the car 3 weeks so im unsure wether this was a problem b4 i had the car.

[Torquen]

how do you tighten the handbrake, so you dont need to pull it up so far?

 

[jafo]

use the adjuster cable under the car

yeah what can you expect if you are puttign your handbreak on to lock the wheels when they want to turn. of course your going to get problems, the drums might need ajusting, thats my bed, jack the rear of the car up from under the dif and see if the wheels are easy to spin, if you can hear the shoe draging. you have disk breaks but the handbreak is operated by a drum. take the wheel off to see it properly.
