Why is the rear wheel handbrake not working?
1 Answers
Rear wheel handbrake not working is usually caused by severe wear of the handbrake brake pads, and replacing the brake pads appropriately will solve the issue. Below is some relevant information about the handbrake: Introduction to the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance when parking, preventing the car from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker compared to the service brake, just enough to keep the car from rolling on a slope. Precautions when using the handbrake: Do not pull the handbrake to the highest position, as the handbrake system includes not only steel cables but also nylon ropes. If it is always pulled to the highest position, the nylon rope will quickly suffer from material fatigue.
