Handbrake on 7245

[fredrik]

Is there somebody out there whith a tip about mounting the band bracket to the handbrake? ??? I found out that one of the lever pins had fallen down. Now it's back in place but how can I put the bracket in whith one pin under and one over. Please, any suggestions is appreciated... Hope you understand my english

Hi

You have to remove the wheel and final drive portal so that you can slide the pins in.

Thanks. It's exaktly the answer I didn't want to hear I hoped that it's only necessary to remove the portal if you change the brakeband. I just want to slide the bracket back in place, nice and easy 69)

I had a similar problem with my 6341. I had the bottom out of the cab to work on the brakes and was able to fix the parking brake with no problem.

I cant remember exactly, but i think i once put a dislodged brake band back in place by fiddling with the slack adjuster on top, and the rear plate to which the hinge bracket is welded.
