How do I adjust the handbrake cable on my Peugeot 106 1996.The hand book says the adjustment is under the car?
Answers:
As with ANY repair or maintenance with a safety related component PLEASE think about this first. Do you have the required skills and equipment to carry this out and are you confident about carrying out the procedure, if you are hen do the following.
Jack the vehicle up and make sure you have axle stands underneath, remove the rear wheels and drums, clean out all of the dust using a brake cleaning spray to keep the dust down to a minimum, Clean the brake shoes with some light sand paper to rough up the glazed friction lining, slacken off the tension on the handbrake cable, adjust the brakes so that the drums turn freely but the linings are just begining to catch the drum, remove the slack from the handbrake cable and then pull the handbrake on 4 clicks, now adjust the cable until the rear wheels dont turn and are also free to rotate when the handbrake is released
seriously leave that to a professional!! are you doing it to an exes car lol
k
the adjustment rod is under the car ,usually on the drivers side,its a cable with a turn buckle.1 way is jack up the rear of your car and tightened the cable till the wheels cant be turned ,then loosened the cable till you can just turn the wheels with easeor look in the book ,it will tell you how many clicks you need on your emergency brake.i hope i was some help to you.
yer it is right in the middel you will need two spannahs to do it but if you have no ider how to do it you should leave it to somone who dose
For goodness sake, get a professional mechanic to service the car. He may save your life and the life/lives of other road users and pedestrians.
