The Fiat procedure is followed up to the final part and thereafter, with the handbrake in the off position, tighten the handbrake adjustment nut until it is just pulling on the brake shoes with all wheels showing the same drag. Then backing off the adjuster until the shoes just release on all wheels at the same time. Pull the handbrake up a few times and then check again that all wheels have similar friction on partial handbrake operation, ie balanced action on all 4 rear wheels. Finally see how many clicks on the handbrake lock the wheels, 5 or 6 locked all wheels for me.
So that seems to be the ‘Special Technique’ for adjusting a ‘tag’ axle motorhome’s handbrake.
As told to me by Glen from P and W Commercials at Binders Yard, High Wycombe (01494 714 714). When he did our handbrake adjustment it always pass the MOT first time.
