Rear brake not releasing correctly

[Michael Dewar - Sun Scotland]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can advise on a small problem. Patient is an S2 coupe
with Girling rear calipers.

The handbrake arm can be moved freely by hand and with the handbrake
off, the arm can be moved freely towards the stop. If the handbrake is
applied and then released, the arm does not return to the same position
against the stop. It stops (no pun intended) about 1cm short and
therefore does not release the piston from the disc properly. What
would cause this ?


Regards,
Mike
