Hello guys,
I don't know very much about mechanic but tonight I took off the rear brakes on my 1971 Pantera !
I have the car for 4-5 months and I'am handling several problems.
On both sides I have a problem with the hanbrake lever (see what I call "handbrake lever" circle in red HERE last picture)
Passenger side : Hand brake lever is working, when I pull it, it brakes but it's very hard to pull, I'm thinking of putting grease but any other idea ? it might not be just grease so I ask.
Driver side : When I pull the lever it's very easy to pull, but it doesn't brake at all...
My hydraulic brakes are working fine (I mean at the pedal, when driving) so I guess the piston is working
As far as hydraulic brakes works but not the driver side handbrake lever what do you think is wrong ?
PS : On pantera wilkinson we can buy 3 kinds of parts :
The whole caliper OR rebuild kit with piston OR rebuild kit without piston. I'm planing on buying one of them but prices are from 20 to $350...
