nevins Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Has any one suffered with this problem. Was driving down the road to day and had a nasty noise come from the rear end. Stopped the car Put the hand brake on and had a look for anything out of the ordinary. Drove the car to a mate garage to et it on the ramp and struggled to pull off. Once in the air I found the two rear wheels were unable to turn by hand they had locked solid. The diff was red hot so I thought the diff had ceased. I removed the bolts from the drive shafts and the wheels were still ceased. I then stripped down the rear brakes to find that both sets of shoes for the hand brake were adjusted out fully and unable to slacken off. The car had new shoes about 3 months ago for an mot and have never caused a problem until today. So i now have a new set on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sounds like someone did not fit the automatic adjuster mechanism properly. Take it back to who ever fitted the shoes and get them to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
