RHS Parking brake not engaging

Hello,
I am having trouble with the RH parking brake, ever since i have replaced the Wheel Bearing the RH park brake will not engage, i have since stripped the assembly and re assembled and adjusted as per Bentley manual. When the car is on the stands the brake engages but when applied on the ground under load it spins freely where the LHS locks up.

I am at a loss of where to go next, please any ideas?

did you adjust the star adjuster enough??

I would like to think so, I have set it adjusted and re adjusted it several times, each time it pulls up tight when the car is in the air but as soon as it has weight and load on it it does not want to work.
I then jack it up again and it has lost its adjustment and spinning freely. Repeat the process... slacken the cable..adjust it up on the wheel until no movement.. back it off slightly..leaver up 4 notches.. adjust at the leaver end.. now working...
lower the car drive up the driveway apply HB not working. as soon as it has load it stops working
LHS adjust up and works without a problem RHS no go.

how much adjustment do you have at the lever?? shouldn't be too much, as not a lot is needed when adjusted properly. sounds like you are doing it properly, though.

however, how many clicks up do you put it when on the ground?? try not backing the adjuster off and see how that works for you.


just saw in your profile that you are in nz....no wonder the brake isn;t holding...gravity is working against you since you're at the bottom of the world. just turn the car upside down and you'll be fine....

LOL ......

mmmm I havn't tried adjusting it while on the ground, ill give it a go.
LHS locks the wheel up at 20Kmph (12.5Mhp).

I'm starting to think it may be the cable or the cable actuator that is faulty.
It has to be something so simple i have missed it, its a relative basic set up.

Thanks
