Hi and Happy Easter one and all!

Seeking some help if I may.

I haven't used my beater for a month or so (Nissan Sunny) and foolishly left it standing with the handbrake on. The inevitable has happened and now the brakes are bound on. I've not had this before so am a bit of a numpty when it comes to knowing what to do / how to deal.

Any advice or recommendations.

Cheers

Ray

 

About 2000 rpm and dump the clutch in 1st, may go with a jolt.

I assume its shoes, if that didn't work tap around the drums radius
with hammer and try again.


Russ.

 

you could put it in gear and turn it over, quick go on the starter

 

or if they are drums have a look at the mechanism at the rear - the hb will be mechanical so a bit of lube on the mechanism may help

 

It's usually the pads/shoes.

It's quite fun using the dog dragging its arse method, since the car will gently oversteer.

If that fails, percussion.
