Hello everyone,
I've ran into my usual maintenance issue when carrying out some work on my 90.
Ok so my passenger side bell crank seized and I went about freeing it up.
Looking at the handbrake shoes I noticed one was particularly worn compared to the other so got new shoes.
Freed up the bell crank and got everything back together.
Ok so issue is when I push on the bell crank i activate the shoes, only problem is only the shoe with the lever running to it pushes out. The other shoe seems to not even budge a mm.
I swapped around the retaining springs at the top and found that the opposite shoe now moved and the other shoe had no deflection.
Any obvious solution for me here? It feels and seems like one of the springs is too powerful and the force applied by the cable from the bell crank is not enough to move both shoes.
Hopefully I am missing something very simple here.
Many thanks in advance, hopefully the solution will come my way.
Cheers lads, Liam.
