Rear Drum brake/ Handbrake Enquiry

[Norns]

I wondering, issit handbrake alwaiz the stronger than pedal brake ???

Bcos i notice that after i change my handbrake few days ago, my handbrake doesnt strong enuf.

I go to any slope and my car is sloping down about 10~20km/h . then i pull up my handbrake at once ... and surprisingly, my car never stop immediately. My car still slope for 2~4 seconds only slope.

not necessary... it depends on how much pressure u apply...

u experience with handbrake isnt surprising... because when u pull ur handbrake, only the rear brakes applied... but when u apply pedal brake, pressure will be applied on all 4 wheels.... thats why u felt handbrake isnt strong enough....

your handbrake will never ever be as strong as your pedal brake. Your handbrake
uses cable... pedal brake uses hydraulics plus foot power. But your car should
never move back on a slope if your handbrake is fine. If u pull your handbrake
on slope & car move back, better go check with your mechanic
