WL Park brake adjuster cylinder assembly.

[wademan200]

Hello.
A life time of incorrect adjusting of the part brake has cause damage to the part that the adjusters sit in. I can't find that part anywhere, I don't even know what it's call. Does anyone know where to get them or what they are called?

Looks different to me?

I would suggest if you are unable to fine some adjuster sections in good condition, you may have to repair what you have or get someone to repair it depending of course what the actual problem is.
Anything worn can usually be built up with weld and then drilled/ground back/machined.

I don’t think the overhaul kits have that part in the OPs photo. It does have the parts that go into that part.

hey thanks for the effort fellas but it's ok now...i had forgotten that i had access to VE service information..the mechanism in the handbrake i was talking about is called the "park brake actuator"...the following diagram is of a VE actuator..works a tiny bit differently compared to the the VY to what i could see...but as you can see, part 1 in the diagram screws straight into part 2(the toothed wheel you turn when adjusting)...the grooves in parts 1 and 5 is where the handbrake shoe sits in...what had happened was, was that part 1 was screwed so tightly into part 2 that it wouldn't turn...so i grabed the parts, stuck it in the vice and got it undone using the part of the brake shoe that goes into the groove (screwdrivers weren't big enough)...all i did now was give the threads a quick clean, popped it back in its place, sit the shoe back in correctly, put the rotor back on, caliper back on, and adjusted it as you normally would...i hope this helps anyone else that has the same problem..thanks heaps anyway guys.
cheers
