Hi I was wondering if any body has figured out how to improve the performance on the 406's handbrake.
As the handbrake is seperate from the foot brake the shoes dont bed in properly and corrosion builds up. I have removed the drums and cleaned it all up and cross cut the shoes. This seems to work for about 2-3 months but after that im back to where i started and the brake's performance drops back to not holding on hills etc.
The shoes look about half worn and the drum about the same.
Any idea's would be gratefully recieved
