Hi,
My Toyota Corolla has handbrake cables as in the diagram below.
It has separate cables going to each rear drum, which as I understand, the equaliser should apply equal force to each.
( that said its a little easier to understand the equaliser on set ups that have a looped cable going to both drums as in the second pic fig 28)
However am having real problems adjusting the shoes properly and though I can see, with the drums off, the cables move ok and 'open' the shoes, when the drums are on, one side fails to exert any real pressure.
Could its cable be overstretched and the equaliser not able to produce the force needed to hold it on properly ??
The other drum locks up properly.
The cables have been inspected at all ends and are not frayed or rusted; actually very well protected.
