Hi everyone,
Im long time reader, first time writer.
I have a big problem with my Skylines Brakes
It seems as if the brake shoes are wedged into the Disk rotor and i cant get it out.
I've tried using the two bolts to remove the rotor, but it pulls the entire hand brake assembly out with it as well. Would anyone know how i can readjust the hand brake so that i can remove the rotor.
I'm afraid if i try remove it any further using the bolts, ill rip the entire hand brake off n needa buy a whole new assembly which = more money
I've also heard you can adust the handbrake from the plastic cover on the rotor, but i cant seem to understand how to adjust it. Do you push it in or do you turn it with a long nose plier? It cant be adjusted with a screwdriver as the face is flat.
And yes, i've released the handbrakes when i tried removing the brakes. I also tried whackin it with a hammer but the top of the rotor wouldnt even budge! The handbrakes seem wedged into the rotor.
Is there a secondary backup adjustment that i can do to loosen the brakes b4 removing the rotor?
Please help someone!!
My skylines currently doin 15L/100km with feather like acceleration.
Thats to high for this car =(
Thanks EveryONE!!
