Problem with rear brakes

[panda]

Changed my rear shoes as failed MOT on handbrake and now i cant get the drum back on to the drivers side. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Also does anyone know how to adjust the handbrake as i cant see anyway of adjusting on cable.

 

Cheers Panda

to take carpet up you have to remove the bottom half of the back seat

 

check underneath mate best way

 

just a quick question your front carpet isnt wet aswell it?

 

 

either you have adjusted your shoes out too far on that side or the drum has a serious lip (build up of rust)

on the edge of the drum on the inside

 

to adjust on cable lift the plastic trim and gaiter from arounf the handbrake lever and down the left hand side of the handbrake lever you will see a 10mm nut on a adjusting rod this is were you tension the handbrake up

Dont have a gaitor,its a mk5 with the plastic cubby thing for cassetes. Would i need to take this out to adjust ?

 

Tryed Haynes book of lies but its no use.

do it at the drums be best bet , just keep adjusting till slides on with a bit of resistance
