Seized handbrake

clint_silver · 2017-11-15 13:24:16

Just ran a nissan primastar through crt, failedf on a couple of things, one of them was a seized handbrake. If you were to ask me there was nothing wrong with it, handbrake works fine. What would mean by that then? Is that a job to fix?

Maybe it isn't releasing fully, either a seized caliper or ragged cable.

The cable would be cheap enough. If it's a seized caliper no amount of spraying with WD40 or the likes ever lasts any length, a replacement caliper is the only lasting solution.
