[s-cars] Sticky handbrake problem

[chris chambers]

Tony,

Just an FYI, it's a known problem for the "cam" in the caliper
that actuates the parking brakes to stick; even on "new" which
are actually rebuilt calipers.

If I can find the link to a write up I'll post it.
Basicly you unhook the cable at the caliper, remove a couple
bolts and slip the cam out where you can clean it with emory cloth
and rease it so it turns easily.
