Daft question - handbrake adjustment - 406 hdi lx

[VespaSkin]

Followed instructions on here and changed 4x disc's and pads - my question is thus: when adjusting the tensioner on rear (pads with inner shoes for handbrake) tighten it up to stops on then release a couple of notches - should there be a bit/lot/no drag on the hub - my old citreon advised bit of drag to help bed in - I'm getting a sort of whump, whump from back end passenger side - best description - a huey helicopter off any vietnam film - not a bang or grind or rattle

Cheers chaps

PS on the subject - using pressure eazybleed but when open bleed nipples only dribbling out (braking works OK though) spare inflated to 40psi - bottle emptying of fluid (even with all bleed screws closed but no leak anywhere) I'm confused

Just skimming is good, check it out of you have concerns, maybe one of the new shoes messed up.

40psi?!! Waaaaaaaaaay too high! The instructions are on the side, I'm amazed the bottle didn't explode...

Cheers, they aint skimming they are stiff, will slacken them off tomorra

I've always used a basic oneway valve for bleeding, and have been thinking of buying an eezibleed.

Does the standard eezibleed kit fit the Peugeot 406 mk2, or do you have to buy extra caps ?.

Comes with a couple of lids and seals mate

Thanks.

When I've bought Gunsons products in the past I've normally had to buy "the extras" to make the things fit (ie compression testers). They charge almost as much for the adaptors as they do for the kit

I got a whole load of caps and seals and stuff with mine, it was a few years ago mind so things might have changed.
