Thanks for the video', my Kia proceed diesel must be the same, I just did the cable because I didn't know about the shoes adjustment.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks for watching. Sometimes you can get away with adjusting just the cable but sometimes the shoes need adjusting too. If the lever feels good but the handbrake still isn’t great, it’s time to adjust the shoes 👠

[@johnh1872]

Inside the cabin if you remove the two bolts as you show if you firmly pull on the grab handle it will lift off. You can then see a adjuster nut which is easy to get at.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@johnh1872 I thought it should come out and tried that before struggling, but it really didn’t want to move on this and felt like something would break before it did 😬

[@johnh1872]

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos . It does come out . On KZbin there is a video showing him doing it. He just gsve it a good tug from drivers seat and out it popped. Nothing broke. I'll try and find out who posted it.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@johnh1872 please mate. It would be interesting to see. KZbin might auto delete your comment if you put a link, but try it anyway

[@johnh1872]

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos looks like it won't let me tell you . Kia sportage handbrake adjustment is what i searched.

[@rodneyporter3320]

Hi mate . I only tighened the cable not knowing about rear shoes. But back brakes were started shuddering. Braking from high speeds. Guess i fucked up Any ideas. Great channel.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Have you slackened the cable back off??

[@rodneyporter3320]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yes mate slackened more ,than it was when I started . Seen a few vids but nobody mentioned about adjustment of shoes. Guess ,il book it in get ur done properly. Thanks mate.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@rodneyporter3320 sounds like the shoes may have delaminated inside. Depending on the type you have, they can be an absolute bitch to change on these if I remember right.

[@nicoleperna13]

Hello! If I’m still having trouble getting it loose enough, should I take the caliper off and then try again?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You can do, just to make sure that the calliper isn’t giving you a false feeling of the bind. Usually pulling the calliper towards yourself on it’s sides slightly is enough though, and if I remember right the callipers are a bit of a pain in the arse to get off on these.

[@martinstevenson7462]

Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you Tim and your family

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You too mate!

[@scottsloan7435]

What's with the nail varnish? 😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I am what I ammmnn 🎵

[@seeyouintheeighties]

My adjuster wheel is jammed, how do you get over that?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You may need to take the disc off and take the adjuster out, or maybe you can get some heat on it with a little blow torch but probably be hard through the hole

[@seeyouintheeighties]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thank you for replies it means a lot, the disc spins loose (with a tiny bit of resistance) I’ve walloped it with the hammer a few times but I only get a little play, do I have to keep hitting it hard on the hub endlessly until it comes off?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@seeyouintheeighties no problem, I try to reply all comments on my vids! I’m assuming you’ve taken the calliper off and the screws out already? If so then yea basically. It’s probably seized to the hub in the centre. If you’re not replacing the disc then sometimes you’re got to keep hitting the centre “drum” part of the disc to try shock it loose. If you’re replacing it then they will usually come off by hitting the disc outwards, but will damage the disc doing it that way.

[@johnh1872]

With both bolts removed firmly pull on the grab handle. It reveals a adjuster nut which is easy to get at.

[@barrados101]

Happy Christmas to you and yours. Hope you have a boot tapping good one. Keep the vids coming and all the best for the little shitta new year....

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate, and you too

[@AC-um2mk]

When you slackened off the handbrake cable ... what was stopping the car from rolling away?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Left the shitter in gear iirc, but it was on flat ground

[@tullefisk1]

Hey great vid but how the f do i remove the horseshoe thingy for replacement? Cheers x

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Wheel hub off I believe 😬

[@tomthompson7400]

Horny Xmas , and a Preposterous New Year .

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate, you too.
