Satria 1.6 handbrake and brake

[fadin_remorse]

My car's handbrake does not work at all even after tightening the handbrake cable. Haven't changed the handbrake cable as yet but are there anything else i should look at? I plan to do a full service on all 4 disc brakes and change my brake hoses. How much will the cost be like?

regards

How is the condition of your rear brakepads ?

if not mistaken skimming disc brakes bout rm40-60 each,
pro rs hoses braided hoses rm200++ i think. - ask andy@rev performance
service piston kit on calipers - not sure but cheap2 only. use MMC ones.

the condition of the rear brake pads are bout 70% at least, but i doubt there is an issue with the piston because when i drive i can hear grinding noises from the rear itself. I am afraid the piston is jamming up...

Owh thanks for the info bro, i was intending for pro RS also as my car is old, so i thought of getting the rubbers away for braided ones

if the piston is jamming up like wat happened to me.
when your car is stationary u let go your handbrakes & brakes. if your car dont roll behind means pistons will jam up soon.

Well for now it moves bro as my handbrakes are bad (10% working), i think the handbrake cant screw in to move the piston for handbraking. Where as the brakes, i need to overhaul i guess.

this is common problem for proton 1.6 and above with rear disc brake....


try service the rear caliper...and use better brakepad...and don't forget to put some lubricant on the cable so it move easily when pulling handbrake....


*one trick to get your handbrake grip enough to stop your car from moving while parking:: press brake paddle while engine was on and pull the handbrake in the same time...then release your foot brake then switch off your engine...tadaaaaa...now no need to put in gear while parking anymore....
