Handbrake issue 97 Ba
Hi all,
Have an issue with my right hand side rear brake caliper. I adust the hex screw behind the caliper and when I pull the hand brake up a few times it loosens up and doesn't hold the wheel. Any ideas would be great. Thanks Michael

So common on mx5. So annoying. New cables helped but didn't fix it completely. New calipers can be had. I want to setup the handbrake to lockup the rears but seems impossible with the design Mazda used.

You either need more pressure on the rotors or larger rotor diameter. |
