Question, does the hand brake lever spring split? Because I'm having a issue with mine… the button you presses to release the hand break kept on getting stuck.. and it popped out.. and I toke the cover off and I saw the spring split..

What's up Han! Can you tell me which impact your using. I'm using a dewalt 1/2 with 325 pound of torque. it wouldn't take off my wheels. thanks

Hey, at 25:39 seems that the wheel was blocked, do you have an automatic? If not, was it blocked that way by your parking break?

i just realized you got the same tires as me, i got my set about 2 months ago and i'm completely in love. i was just wondering how long you've had your set for and if you know how long they would potentially last

Welp, no way I'm going to that effort to replace the cables, hopefully for me it's just the expanding thing and adjusting screws that are rusty and just need replacing.

On the nut adjustment, I can't remember what was written in TIS exactly but aren't you supposed to lift the handbrake by two notches or at the point the handbrake light comes on, then tighten the nuts?

Here in the UK, to pass the MOT (roadworthy test), a lever style handbrake has to be tight enough that it's not already at the end of it's travel. I adjusted mine pretty tight to pass the MOT, two months later it's loosened up already =/.

Are you going to be doing a steering wheel swap?
