Jazz rear brake caliper handbrake adjustment


ECRG

Recommended Posts

Hi. Is there a correct procedure for getting good hand brake efficiency on a Jazz with calipers? Weve tried several different methods including releasing everything and then using the handbrake levers to 'pump' out the pistons but the efficiency is still terrible.

The cable has been adjusted several times. It also has been totally released (making sure the caliper leavers are back to the stop) and the pistons on the calipers pumped out then cable adjusted but the efficiency is still bad.

Sorry for very late reply,

I forgot to mention that we have done all of the above before I posted. The cables and one caliper has also been changed but its almost exactly the same efficiency on a brake tester. I was hoping there might be a Honda mechanic on here that might have a tip or solution.

Thanks for the info so far though
