I know we all get frustrated with the handbrake but the one on my '97 Prado is giving me serious grief!
I replaced the handbrake shoes which were worn down. When finished there seemed to be too much slack in the handbrake cables. I replaced the cable with a new one thinking the old one may have been stretched but the new one is just the same.
With all the adjustment taken up at the handbrake, I can just get the LH wheel to lock but nothin reliable. I have checked everything back against the manual including that the shoes and new cable is correct. I have double checked the shoe installation and tried varying levels of adjsutment at the shoes, but there still seems to be too bit too much slack in the cables.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas?
