#1: handbrake needs ajusting on 180 Author: jase123, Location: yorkshirePosted: Fri Jan 21, 2011 12:36 pm ---- hi all my handbrake on my 180 need's adjusting can anyone give me a rough guide to how its adjusted this may sound stupid but does the car have a drum thats at the back of the disks like some other makes and models because if it does then would i be rite in thinking that the rear disks have to come off to adjust the drum at the back of the disk as this would adjust the hand break at the same time
thanks for any help and advise in advance jase

#7: Re: hand break needs ajusting on 180 Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2011 2:43 pm ---- There is no drum just the disk and caliper. U can adjust them by removeing the plastic trim around the hand brake and you will see the cables with a nut to adjust it.

Its the normal old school Peugeot s**te rear disc with handbrake on the back of the caliper piston set up.
Check the handbrake mechanism in the caliper is working correctly & also that the pad's ain't seized in the caliper.

obviosly not!! hence not been funny so dont take offence . i only asked if the 180 had the drum that self adjusts its self like some other cars have as its alot bigger job to do!! disks have to come off ect ect to readjust it. and i dint wanna start the job at 3 in the afternonn sunday and end up running out of time(day light) , if its just a simple ajusting of the cable then it wont take no where near as long!
There is no drum just the disk and caliper. U can adjust them by removeing the plastic trim around the hand brake and you will see the cables with a nut to adjust it.
thanks like i tried to state befor this is all i needed to no, that the 180 is the same set up

Better to use a ratchet spanner. Makes the job a lot easier.
