Seized Handbrake

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A TIP ?
MY 90 HAS BEEN STOOD FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS, IM SAVING SOME CASH TO GET THE HEAD REPLACED AND OTHER THINGS, IVE STARTED IT UP EVERY SUNDAY AND RUN IT TILL ITS WARM AND SHE SOUNDS SWEET, BUT LIKE A FOOL THE HANDBRAKE WAS LEFT ON AND NOW IT WONT COME OFF, IVE TRIED HITTING IT AND MOVING BAKWARDS AND FORWARDS BUT IT WONT RELEASE, ANY QUICK FIX TIPS WOULD BE APPRECIATED, MANY THANKS, GARSE

slacken the adjuster right off, then hit it with a sheffield fine adjuster.

Thanx Mate Ive Got A Real Heavy Fine Adjuster In The Shed !!!!

Yeah, give it a good twotting, it'll free off eventually chap.

Regards WP.

worked yet? i move mine every week, and sometimes after a days offroading, i leave her for a wekk, then come to try and move her, but she is also stuck. i tend to release the handbrake as much as poss then, give her loads f revvs, then let the clutch out... it works

Thanks Guys, Ill Be Getting Out The Big Fine Adjuster This Weekend And Give It The Good News ( Twotting ) After Ive Slackened The Adjuster. In Future Im Gonna Leave It In Gear Without The Handbrake On So I Dont Have This Problem Again, Many Thanx For Youre Advice, Garse

Sounds like a plan!

Just an idea. If it is possible try and squirt some brakefluid into the handbrake drum it will loosen the rust, it works on manifold bolts.

brilliant idea lets all lubricate our brakes........................ don't do it boy the last thing you need is oil on yer shoes...
