Gen 6 Handbrake Problem

[GT Driver]

Hi all,

My handbrake seems to stick on when released. I usually have to rock the car back a little before setting off to loosen it off BUT i think it is still binding a little even after that.

I'm unfamiliar with the mechincs of the Gen 6 Handbrake so my question is:

Could this be due to a certain component failing?

Has anyone come across this before?

Any help and/or ideas to resolve this would be appreciated.

Cheers

If you jack it up and take off the wheels, then pull out the pads you will be able to feel if the handbrake shoes are dragging or not. The shoes are inside the fat bit of the disc
