Hi guys, hope everybody’s having a good week so far.
The parking brake on the 73 1.7 car has always been extremely stiff, and when I pulled the cover in the cockpit today here’s what I found. From doing some research I believe these are supposed to be even as opposed to skewed to one side, is that correct?  Thanks! |

The handle has a bushing. Probably not that.
The cables can rust and cause binding. (They could be adjusted too tight as well.) And don't get me started on the rear calipers. I would pull the cables off the rear caliper levers and see if it changes. A lot of people don't use the parking brake (any car, any year), and that lack of use can let things corrode. You could be in for a rear caliper rebuild. Probably good preventative maintenance anyway. |
