[QUOTE="molveees, post: 705007, member: 10899"] Hi Guys Had an MOT failure yesterday. Offside rear right brake was binding. Has a look at this thread and found lots of useful information so set about taking the drum apart .... [url]http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/handbrake-adjustment.37765/[/url] Shoes, adjusted mechanism (ratchet, Hand brake adjuster all look loose, clean and functioning but just to be sure i added a bid of wd40 to the adjust threads and backed it off a little to allow the drums to go on smoothly. Tried the handbrake movement several time to ratchet up the slack but to no effect. Adjust the shoes to the point where they were almost touching the drum and pulled the handbrake but i am getting absolutely zero tension on the rh CABLE. Now i switch my focus to the cable and i am wondering of it is indeed the cable which has seized up. But wouldn't that be unusual? I pulled the hand brake all the way up. Near side is absolutely fine in clutching and releasing but the right side is unmoved. Has anyone come across this issue and had to replace a handbrake cable? I want to squirt a wd40 down the brake cable to see if it will free it up? is that a good idea? Can the brake cable be removed easily? Can i access the top of this cable from inside of the car (for squirting wd40). Any diagrams would help. Attached is the picture of the rear wheel with the hub off. I removed all brake components completely and give it a good clean with a wire brush. To be honest it looked pretty clean anyway. Thanks for the help guys.
