yewman Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 My Legacy estate (wagon) has discs all round. The handbrake is not as effective as it was, unless you pull hard on the lever. I need to have a look & give it some T. L.C., Is it a drum inside the disc?? if so are there any pics showing the setup. Thanks a lot to all you moderators who give up your time to help the rest of us. Regards Yewman...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 There is a drum inside the rear disc. The parking brake has its own shoes, and is adjustable. the adustment requires removing the center console. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 There is also an adjustment on the back of the backing plate. Just pop out the rubber piece and use a flat bladed screwdriver and LOTS of light. I believe UP makes things tighter. Here's a thread describing both procedures: http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2779 I also found a blow-up of the rear brakes: http://www.mytempdir.com/313874 Good luck.

yewman Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Looking at the photo of the disc and drum, it seems that it will just slide off after removing the rear wheel. Time to have a look at the job in the metal . Thanks for the useful info , Regards Yewman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
