help getting hill holder to work


Recommended Posts

I brought a 95 Legacy L wagon on the 6th of this month and I knew the car had the Hill holder but I see it has been disconnected.. since I'm not good on hills yet and tired to use the ebrake way how can I connect this back? It seem the cable goes on the plate but how?

 

 

Here is a picture

See the hole with the notch in it?

 

Rotate the plate clockwise, until the cable end can slip into the hole sideways, feeding the cable through the notch. Lay the cable around the groove. Adjust the nut on the other end so that the hill holder cable has just a hair of slack on it when the clutch pedal/fork is in the released position.

crap I was hoping you would not say clockwise.. It's hard as heck since the cable does not have much slack at all.. what you see in the picture is as far as it will go out at least..

 

How I was trying to do it when I finally got it around enough to slip the cable in I just tried to push it down into the hole but only half of the lower part went in until it popped out again.

 

*EDIT

 

I think I got it.. I had a helper press the brake and clutch should anything move? I saw the slack being taken up but I'm not sure if the plate should move or not..

No no no thats not it.

 

Do you have a bicycle with hand gbreaks around to look at. The but end of the cable sits in the both holes in the cam (roataion arm) on the hill holder.

 

They way you have it the hill holder will drag the brakes and snap the cable. Loosen the hill holder cable at the clutch fork to get slack.

I should elaborate, take the cable and bring it around so that the pin slips into the hole, then take the cable and route it through that open part in the cam and feed cable around the cam the way you have it now. But the pin needs to be up and down, not the way it is sitting.

the brakes don't drag since the cable is not really being pulled at all how it's connected.

 

Also the hillholder doesn't generate any brake pressure.

 

It only locks pressure from the Master cylinder after the brakes are released.
