Handbrake

[CraigW]

As everyone knows ive been having the common pedal box issue.

Becuse of this my car aint been used for the last 3-4 weeks, been out and started it every few days and let it tick over, but that aint the issue.

I tried to reverse it back alittle then move it forward again yesterday but my handbrake is stuck on.

Anyway to get it off?? Preferably without having to strip anything down.

thanks in advance.

sure its not just the brakes that have rusted up? My old car was the same when it had been sat for a month or two, just had to give it plenty of right foot to get them free.

Just give it loads of throttle to get it moved. I will give it a try.

Well im not sure if its the handbrake of or not now, when i was trying to reverse it the back of the car raised up, then when i tried to move forward the front moved up.

Sounds about right, they will just be a bit stuck and will need a bit of persuasion.

Right i got the car to move tonight.

It was abit of a struggle and needed alot of persuasion but it has moved!!

It feels like the brake is still stuck on alittle on the rear passenger side wheel, should this ease of as i start using it again. Its going into the garage on wednesday for the pedal box so i can easily get it checked then!

Will take a bit of use to get rid of the crap that has stuck em up. I drove down the road with my brakes slightly on and they seemed ok after that.

Thats alright to know then, i just wondered. Cant wait to get it back on the road and get full use again!!

Ive missed driving it!?
