I jacked up the car, lowered the hand brake and attempted to spin the driver's side wheel. NO GO. Removed the wheel and pushed the hand brake lever on the caliper away from the caliper. TA DA Rotor turns.
repeated hand brake lifts and the lever returned properly. So the Clymer nor the Haynes manuals say anything at all about lubrication. I did notice that I don't have the rubber boot on the caliper end of the cable, so dirt in the tube could be a thing. To me the feel for release was the lever. Actual question is: Should I lubricate the shaft, spring, lever.....? maybe some lightweight oil or Sili-Kroil? |

It has been a while.... but I LUBED the hell out of the old cable sleeve. A few days later and the hand brake was sticking again.
Bought a new cable and installed it.... a few days later and it is stuck again. I am now guessing that the cable is NOT the issue. I has always been intermittent. Does not happen every time. So I am gonna have to take the caliper off. Has this happened to others? What can I do to the caliper, what could be going on there? |
