If the calliper has no fluid in, will the handbrake mechanism still work efficiently?

Or if the callipers was filled with fluid and then sealed would it still work ok?

Looking for options of getting round the hydraulic handbrake.

 

if its got a mechanical handbrake lever in the caliper then yes

 

think that the reason they have a lever in the rear calipers, so it works independent from the fluid brakes.


Dave.

 

But I think the hydraulic workings ensure that as the pads wear the piston is pushed out.

If there was no hydraulic action, then there would be no automatic adjustment for wear.

 

cheers for the info lads

yes stevie i think your right but the would be used purely for parking etc etc and as such wouldnt wear at all.
