You need to turn it to get it back in, but I suppose you already know that. If it gets very hard to turn in beyond a certain point, you have a knackered hand-brake mechanism. This is a well-known problem, seems the innards of the handbrake assembly get gunked up with sludge, and then it starts blocking the piston from turning all the way back in.
If the piston is still good, you can be pretty sure this is the problem. It does not affect braking performace in my experience, nor does the handbrake not work, you just cant get new pads in without some serious violence. My advice would be to rebuild it. rebuild kits are 40 dollars from toyota, and contain all the fiddly bits for the handbrake assembly. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |
