I think that this may be a rhetorical question, but I shall tackle the binding rear handbrake next weekend. It might be something simple, like a seized linkage. Or it might not. Trouble is, I have no idea what lies inside the rear brake drum until I take it off.
Do I assume the worst and order all the parts I am likely to need?
If so, what parts should I order?
I am thinking:
1. new brake shoes
2. new brake drums
3. new slave cylinders
4. Brake cleaner (I need some anyway!)
I'll then undertake a fluid change (bet that's not been done properly for a while!)
What do you guys reckon?
