NP rear brake diagram

[Hungie]

Hi all, a little issue has started with my handbrake. Firstly a few days ago the handbrake lever started to need to be pulled almost vertical to stop the car rolling. Second issue is a grinding/rattle when you first reverse or take off in the morning(sounds to be coming from the rear end). After a few brake applications it seems to go away. While rolling yesterday I very lightly pulled on the handbrake a tiny bit and it made a loud thud noise.

I'm thinking the handbrake shoes have either worn out or somthing has let go in there ?

Any advice or a rear brake parts/assembly diagram would be awesome. If I go in to replace the rear handbrake shoes (located inside the rotor "drum"), I don't want to be unsure in what order the parts go back.

Cheers

Hi mate,

If you to this address you should be able to download a PDF file with the info you need ...

I pulled the whole back brake assembly apart a couple of years ago and I remember it is a bit of a pain – you need to take plenty of photos and put each individual spring in a plastic zip bag with a label saying exactly where it came from – there are quite a few springs and I don’t think there are two the same.

Good luck
