Rear brakes

Today the cables had freed up a lot so I Drip fed Vasoilen down the cable as it's water proof it will stop water getting in to the outer casing.I then started to refit the brakes but had to stop as my back said to (lol) still always a nother day.

Cables.

Hi Jim,

The old Willis army jeeps which I spent some time servicing and repairing years ago had 28 grease points on them and one on each handbrake cable, there was even one on the clutch release bearing and bel-crank for the clutch release arm as well as one on every spring bush.
It is no wonder there are still so many of them going around today!
