The parking brake (hand-made brake) is also called the "handler". It is a permanent brake, which is used when parking on the slope, in the car parking process, and is also used by masters for the implementation of complex tricks. Manual brake blocks any spontaneous movement of the vehicle. The parking brake is activated using a special lever installed on a torpedo with a gearbox. The handbrake is quite an important and indispensable thing, but they still do not use all drivers. The fact is that if you put the car to the transmission, it will not go anywhere. However, if the slope is rather steep, then the box will no longer help. In general, most novice drivers do not represent a normal movement without a handbrake. About this further in the article.

Causes of manual brake fault

The handbrake breakdown is not so rarely phenomenon, where the tension of the cable is not an exceptional problem. It happens that the handbrake on the VAZ 2114, 2115, 2113 does not hold and after the stretch. We will analyze the most common causes of this phenomenon in more detail.

The handbrake has a unpretentious device, but it sometimes occur in it. There are several reasons for this:

1. Barabanov wear.
2. Deformation or rupture of the cable.
3. Worn brake pads.

It may also be mechanically damaged or any elements of the parking brake system are worn. The problem in such cases is diagnosed on the eye or one hundred. In addition, the handbrake will not work if the rope falls from the lever. In this case, you can use any high-quality sealant that can prevent slipping, or simply pull the parking brake cable.

Choosing a workplace

We heat the car on the overpass or pit. In the absence of a garage and overpass, you just need to raise the back of the vehicle on the jack. If there is no jack, the car can be driven into the curb.

Tools, fixtures, consumables

1. Jack.
2. Keys on "13" (two).

Hand brake stretch with your own hands (phased job)

1. First of all, it should be put on the first transmission of the gear lever.
2. Next, you must calculate the number of handbrake clicks. If less than two, loosen the tension of the cable, more than five - on the contrary, strengthen the tension.
3. Then completely release the handbrake.
4. Now we take two keys on 13 and climb under the car.
   
5. To lengthen the cable, you must unscrew the lock nut, respectively, to reduce it, the locknut should be tightened.
6. We find the muffler and remove the fastening of the muffler and the collector, which will significantly simplify the process.
7. Next, we find the cable equalizer, as well as a nut and lock nut.
8. With the help of the first key weakened the lock nut, and with the help of the second - we hold it to avoid scrolling.
   
9. Adjust and systematically check the course. An acceptable number of clicks - from two to five.
10. When the required result is obtained, it is necessary to raise the jack of the back of the vehicle to hang the wheels. Next, we check whether the brake pads do not interfere with the rotation.
11. Now raise the lever, after which the wheels should be tight.
12. Spin the lock nut.

Some craftsmen are able to pull the parking brake without weakening the muffler mounts. At the same time, they use notorious homemade keys. As a result of the fact that the stretch is carried out quite often, such devices are very relevant.

Tips Prof.

If you do not want to spend your strength and time to master a sufficiently simple scheme of a hand brake device and tighten the handbrake on your own, you can contact the car service. The issue price is at least 400 rubles depending on the country's region, but the event is not disposable. After a certain time, you will need to regulate the handbrake cable again, for which you have to go to the car service. It is worth noting that the cost of the procedure will increase with each new visit.

After the suspender, it does not rarely happen that a strong cracking appears. Perhaps during the suspender, the cable was laid or two cables. Check that the cable does not cling to attachments or anything else. Bolts on which a cable is fixed, you can unscrew and see what state they are. In the presence of traces of rubbing, it is necessary to put the cable correctly. In addition, the cable can crack from the fact that it is pulled (even when the stacking brakes are stacked in the desired interval).

Tightening the handbrake has often enough. This is due to the design of the parking brake. In addition, you will have to regulate the parking brake when replacing the brake pads, repair of the handbrake, repair of the cable, as well as replacing the rear brake cylinder.
