I'm having trouble with my handbrake, I removed the drums to have a look at what's going on and my drivers side (slave side) seems to be overly tight regards the bell crank lever and the slave wire cable that runs across seems to be always tight / tensioned.
Even with the handbrake lever adjuster in the cabin slackened off and the adjusting cog in the drum itself slackened completely off it doesn't seem to make much difference to the resistance at the drivers side bell crank lever when I try move the crank by hand.
I made 2 videos, 1 of the drivers side and 1 of the passenger side, you can see how the passenger side has all slackened up freely but the drivers side hasn't, you will also see in the videos the difference in the stopper bolt that's supposed to rest against the backing plate, you can see I have a much longer bolt on my drivers side which I had to put in couple years ago when removing the slack to adjust the handbrake to get it to pass my Mot / Doe annual test.
Does my drivers side crank lever seem to be sticking at a certain point or seem to not have as much range of movement as the passenger side do ye reckon when I move it by hand in the vid?
