Handbrake (parking brake) Cable Replacement/adjustment 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul (NZ) on  Fri Mar 18 15:48 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi Guys,
just replaced a broken handbrake cable today, checked the part against the old one & they looked the same but now its installed and I have adjusted it up fully but it still will not engane the rear shoes. The cable seems slack at the rear but I can apply the rear brakes by pulling the cable at the axle. Did I get a wrong part or have I made a newbie error ? Can't seem to find anyone else with this particular problem . . .

tia,

Paul

Did you use the adjustment behind the handle? It is the big teflon nut/coller behind the back seats ash tray/panel.

Paul
You are very welcome. Thanks for the advisory!!! I wondered how it turned out.
I always thought that was the slickest way to run a cable. Excellent engineering.
My new one will be in Thursday.
Don't forget to vacuum up all the french fries that have been down there since Reagan was President before sealing her up.

The nut goes on the outside, not the inside of the handbrake assy ? DOH there is my prob I think. Will go check.

thanks
