start clips ?


Kris TD

posted on 12th Oct 03 at 18:11

yeah that'll be right. i broke those tiny little start clip things and the whole handbrake and rear brakes didnt work, supprizing what 12p's worth of parts can stop working.

1. u will know if its split cos brake fluid will start pissing out :(

2. the clicking stopped because they have adjusted properly.

you sound like you have done it correctly fella :)

sounds about right, you shouldnt depress the brake pedal with the drums of though, thats how cylinders split.

Cylinders split how would i know if its spilt ?

you should hear it clicking a few times when first done. the drum should be fairly easy to turn but with some resistance.

Yeah heard the clicking noise then it stopped why ?

anyone ?

I ve sorted it jus want to confirm the above

when you press the brake the self adjuster plate turns the bolt thingy & changes the travel then the self adjuster plate should return to its normal place correct ?

u havent put them back together properly if they are constantly enguaged. push the pistons in then put it back together. sounds like the self adjusting mechanism isnt put back right.

Fucking hard to replace are nt they, got a few questions managed to get the assembly back together & on again, i ve only done one side so far, but my brakes feels fucked when i depress the pedal.

Can you give some tips on setting them up also can i asjust the shoes cause their constantly engaged / rubbong agaist the drum wall.

The springs are all connected up, theres an adjustable bar which sits between the diaphram with an adjuster (bolt) on it, should this be as long as possible or as short possible any help will be appreciated.



Thanks
