1999 legacy estate handbrake details.


Recommended Posts

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......

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:

I also found a blow-up of the rear brakes:

Good luck.
