hand brake does not work

[Hoffman Anthony J A1C 552 CMS/MXMVC]

 Denis,
There is an adjustment under the car where the two cables from the calipers
connect to the one coming from the lever. There should be a 10mm nut on a
long threaded stud. It sounds like it is too loose. If the lever stops
before the very top and you aren't getting enough holding power, the
calipers are bad/sticking.

Everything seems normal but it still does nt brake very much.
The cable are good, the galippers level work too.

I need to bend the cable at max to get a little brake, but when the pads are
tinner i lose brake again...

There is something in the screw and piston that it does not want to keep
adjusted or auto-adjut  ?

I partout the rear galipper to clean them...... they are in good condition
but the inside  pistons have losen srcew, my on my 90 the srew inside the
piston was tight not lose....

There are almost the same rear galipper on my ex-90 and they always wored
great.

thanks

Ðenis
