Hello All

The subject content says it all really :lol:

My hand break is ****, you can pull it up until you cant pull anymore and it is still not gripping properly...( i will say it does go up a good few clicks)

The pads and discs are ok so hopefully tightening it up will help

So anyone know how to tighten it up??

Cheers

mines is the same the garage said they replaced the shoes but my handbrake is **** with a capital C also.
:frown: i worry a bit when i park incase the car starts to roll....

maybe worth mentioning that the pads dont hold the car its the shoes on the inside of the disc that work with the handbrake

Our handbrake was also ****, useless in fact. Followed the instructions on here (very easy) and now the handbrake is as good as any car...
Changed the front discs last night thanks to the links on here (a doddle to do and good prices for spares) and hey presto no more judder when braking, thanks Nissan Forum.

Great cheers for that :biggrin:

Can you just take the slack up on the adjuster nut? or do you have to adjust the rear brakes as well???

Cheers

hi i just had new discs and pads all round and there is a rubber gromit on the disc. pull it out turn round till at bottom then put a flat head screwdriver in and wined the small toothed disc and take uo the slak. do it with hand break off then test as you go. :thumbs:

HIya

I really need to tighten my handbrake, but the link provided by Umbongo is not working for me, is it still working for others?

Cheers.
