Received replacement handbrake cables, and fitted the one that was sticking badly. Got it swapped over then noticed we have another problem – sticking calliper! The arm which the handbrake cable pulls is not returning under the pressure from it’s spring.
I phone up the local motor factors and see what they have… excellent, they have a recon unit for the same price as it would be on the net! Drive down to the motor factors and pick up the new calliper unit.
We get the new calliper back on, and attach the hand brake again. Hurrah, hand brake is working properly now.
Just need to bleed all the brakes, but find the bleed nipples on the front callipers are rusted on… a few broken cheap spanners later and the bolt is gradually getting more and more mangled. The day is over, and Bedford autodrome is getting closer.
