drob Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The battery died a few days a ago so the zed was sat for a day or two. put the battery back in thought everything was fine but ohhhh nooo. The back drivers brake seems to be stuck on or so i thought. if you either put the car in 1st or reverse the car wont budge, the other 3 wheels are fine and free. cracked the caliper off the sticking back wheel but the the pads aint sticking to the caliper which i thought was the problem. so with the caliper off you can only rock the disk back and forth about 1cm, somethings stuck and i dont hav a clue what it is, so if anyone can shine a light please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Could be the handbrake pad on that side stuck on? (There is an adjuster that lets you free it off through a hole somewhere on the disk. Someone else will have more idea where I'm sure.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 had a look at the hole in the disk but didnt see anything which would adjust the handbrake, anyone have an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drob Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 had a look at this, loosened the handbrake from centre console but the hole on the hub is at the bottom on my car at the minute, does it need to be at the top to adjust it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If you let your clutch off fiercely from 1st or reverse then the sticking brake will soon come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
