Quick bitta help needed

[FronteraGirl]

Sorry to be a pest, but I've got the chance of gettig the Fronty up on the lift tomorrow to waxoil it, and I'd really like to check out the rest of the vac pipes that you all talk about under the baulkhead (I think?) which I can't see or get to when the truck is on the ground. Can someone point me a link to some pics of where to look?

Also, the handbrake is absolutly rubbish - gotta pull it all the way up to get it on at all and then it only just holds, and it sticks on really badly if left overnight. Again, can someone dig up a link to how to sort it out?

And while its up there, anything else I should be inspecting in particular - will be giving it the once over as MOT on 24th.

Sorry I would do this myself but just back from having a nail taken out the tyre and gotta get the sheep to the mart by 12 - must dash!!! Thanks if someone can help me out

Check condition of steel fuel pipes that run near the tank, check brakes pipes and wire brush and waxoyl them.

There are loads of things you could do like change all the oils and grease the prop uj's etc

As above hun, but if your handbrake seizes on overnight etc, I would suggest your slides and backplates are dry and need lubricating, as per my how to above. May I suggest that if you are going to that extent, you fit new shoes at the same time?
They are very cheap and it will save another strip down in the future.

Thanks for that chappies, I'm gonna take the lappy with me tomorrow and if I get stuck I'll be able to refer to those guides. Probably won't have time to do too much more unless something is urgent as I've got to work til lunch time and so has my apprentice, who wants to waxoil his 4x4 too, mine gets priority tho

Thanks again (new shoes will have to wait cos there aint nowhere to get them around here )
