Subject: Re: Hand brake run out of adjustment
=================
We had a similar problem in our '86 900 16v turbo (211,000
mi). The front calipers were so rusted that there wasn't
enough physical movement with the cable/spring/caliper
connection (I suppose the spring at the caliper can't
release the brake pads since the cable to the hand brake is
slack even when handle is pulled all the way up). There's a
way to tighten the cable from the left side of the parking
brake base, but you shouldn't do that if the calipers need
to be freed first. Be wary of rebuilt replacement calipers
-- I've had two failin less than a month of use (one in our
SAAB, other in a Toyota truck).
Good luck!
Travis
