Is Replacing the Handbrake Cable Quick?
1 Answers
Replacing the handbrake cable is quick. The handbrake cable is a component found in cars equipped with mechanical handbrakes. The mechanical handbrake has a handbrake lever behind the gear shift, and this lever is connected to the cable. Symptoms of a handbrake cable not retracting: Pull the handbrake and then release it to see if the wheels turn freely. If they don't, it indicates that the cable is not retracting. Brake system: The brake system consists of a master cylinder and wheel cylinders. Simply put, the master cylinder stores brake fluid and has inlet and outlet ports. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake fluid in the master cylinder flows through the pipes to the wheel cylinders. When the wheel cylinders are pressurized, they push the brake pads against the brake drums, achieving braking.
