Handbrake Cable Conduit
Every 6,000 miles, apply the grease gun to a grease nipple fitted in the conduit,
as shown on the lubrication chart.
During the winter months it is important to keep the cable regularly lubricated.
This will prevent the entry of water and the possibility of freezing which would
lock the brake cable.
When lubricating the cable, pump the gun until grease exudes from the end of
the conduit.
Handbrake Compensator.
Lubricate the handbrake compensator via the two grease nipples (B) (Fig. 11)
every 6,000 miles.

Every 12,000 miles (if the vehicle is used for competition work every 6,000
miles) repack the hubs with grease. This involves removing the hubs and
washing the bearings to remove all traces of the old grease before packing
the rollers and races with new grease. Do not disturb the pipe unions but
unbolt and move the complete caliper to allow the hub and disc to be
removed.
Take care not to lose shims which may be fitted between the
caliper and the vertical
link.
When replacing, ensure
