Rear o/s brake not releasing
Discussion
On the run up to the Cotswolds last weekend we stopped at the Membury service and when it came to leave my rear brakes wouldnt release so i had to rock the car and again when it was time to return home.
Removed the rear drums yesterday and the culprit was a small retaining clip which had rusted away so off to the Ford specialist i have used for over 30 years!
They still have some parts for the old Fords, Escorts, Capri, Sierra, Granada etc
Robin who i beleive is the owner showed me a complete Sierra hand brake cable that comes with the clips i need but said it could also be one of two which he had in stock as per photo.
I think it's the green ones, the offside is completley missing and the nearside i so rusty it's hard to tell
These clips stop the hand brake cable from pulling out from the brake shoe back plate.
I hope this is the last little job to do before Chatsworth.
