What to Do When the Handbrake Locks Up After Rain?
1 Answers
If the car's brakes lock up in rainy weather, you can try repeatedly moving forward and backward about three times: start the car, release the handbrake, shift into 1st gear/R gear, and alternate between forward and reverse. Pour 100°C boiling water onto the brake pads, then repeat the first method. The brake pads and brakes will automatically separate. You can also remove the tire and tap the brake drum to loosen the brake shoes and drum inside.
