just notice my handbrake is seized on 1 side so i tried freeing it with wd40 got it to free but now when you put handbrake on and take it off it doesnt release all the way as if the spring isnt strong enough is it poss to take the handbrake mechanism apart and clean and re grease if so how is it done tried to remove already but will only come up so far and not out all the way cheers in advance for help

 

remove caliper
remove piston
remove a couple of circlips (after making a special tool from the remains of an old piston)
remove handbrake operating arm
clean out and re-grease
replace shagged operating arm seal
re-assemble

or just go to Looms and pay a fiver for a good one

 

tried looms but it a 4wd calliper so none there is there a step by step illusrated guide anywhere you know of and how much are the seals cheers

 

Have you tried the likes of Sutton auto factors or Partco? I know the 2wd rear calipers are normaly in stock and cheap ie under Ł40...but not sure about 4x4 caliper...

 

will try them dont supose you have there numbers do you cheers

 

Not to hand mate, try our local derby yellow pages under motor factors?

 

The Suttons that I use is in LongEaton, Partco is down near teh Volvo dealership on the ring.

 

will ring in morning see what they say cheers
