JiP Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 hey, just a quick question. The tension know on you handbrake, (In my case KE30), Is it needed?? I just got home, yanked up the handbrake and the knob flew off at me. Is it needed?? Can i still use the car?? Will the handbrake fail next time i use it?? Quote
demuire Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Huh? Do you mean that the button came off? or...? Quote
JiP Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 I ment the little twist knob at the back, right end of the handbrake. When i pulled it up the knob flew off at me. I went to the wreckers today and it seems that the knob just unscrews so i justswapped it over for a good one. Oh, BuGGAr. Just remembered, i forgot to pay. Quote
styler Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) ah dude, thats the lock knob. there should be a seperate nut underneath that, ie the nut is against the hanbrake and the plastic knob secures against the nut. and also a washer under the nut to stop the nut savaging the handbrake mounting pad. Is it needed?? yes else the cable wont be connceted to your handbrake lever Can i still use the car?? of course but you wont have a handbrake Will the handbrake fail next time i use it?? lol you wont have a handbrake, just a loose lever.
