5 Unscrew the hose from its union on the
caliper and remove it (see illustration).
6 Refit by reversing the removal operations,
then bleed the appropriate part of the
hydraulic system (Section 2). In the case of the
front hoses, check that they are not kinked or
twisted, and that they do not contact other
components when the steering is moved from
lock to lock. Reposition the hose in the
bracket if necessary.
7 To remove a rigid pipe, simply undo the
union nuts at the hydraulic unit, hose bracket
or T-piece (see illustration). Free the pipe
from any retaining clips and remove it.
8 New pipes can be bought ready-made, with
the unions attached. Some garages and motor
factors will make up pipes to order, using the
old pipe as a pattern. If purchasing proprietary
pipes made of copper alloy or similar material,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully
concerning bending, provision of extra clips
etc.
9 Fit and secure the new pipe and tighten the
union nuts, bleed the appropriate part of the
hydraulic system (Section 2).
1 The handbrake is normally self-adjusting in
use. Adjustment may be required to
compensate for cable stretch over a long
period, and is also necessary after fitting a
new cable.
2 Chock the front wheels, release the
handbrake and raise and support the rear of
the vehicle.
3 Release the adjuster locknut from the
adjuster nut. Back off the adjuster nut,
slackening the cable until both handbrake
levers on the calipers are resting against their
stops (see illustration).
4 Paint alignment marks between each
handbrake lever and the caliper body (see
illustration).
5 Tighten the adjuster nut until either
handbrake lever just starts to move - as shown
by the alignment marks.
6 Apply the handbrake and release it a few
times to equalise the cable runs.
7 Tighten the locknut onto the adjuster nut
finger tight, then tighten a further three to six
clicks using self-locking pliers or a peg
spanner.
1 Slacken the rear wheel nuts and chock the
front wheels. Raise and support the rear of the
vehicle and remove both rear wheels. Release
the handbrake.
2 Slacken off the handbrake cable adjuster
locknut and adjuster nut.
3 Free the cable from the equaliser yoke by
removing the circlip and clevis pin (see
illustration). Beware of self-tapping screws
protruding through the floor in this area.
4 Unhook the cable inner from the handbrake
levers on the calipers. Free the cable outer
from the caliper brackets (see illustration).
5 Free the cable from the lower arm and
underbody brackets and remove it.
6 Refit by reversing the removal operations,
but before refitting the rear wheels, adjust the
cable as described in the previous Section.
1 Chock the front wheels and release the
handbrake. Raise and support the rear of the
vehicle.
2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Disconnect the handbrake cable equaliser
yoke by removing the circlip and clevis pin.
4 Remove the centre console (Chapter 12).
5 Remove the handbrake control lever boot.
6 Disconnect the wiring from the handbrake
warning switch.
7 Unbolt the handbrake lever and remove it,
complete with switch. Remove the switch if
necessary.
8 Refit by reversing the removal operations.
1 Remove the under-dash trim on the
passenger’s side.
