I carried this out yesterday after i found that the RH drivers side would bind after i had adjusted and operated the hand brake. However, the problem persists.

The LH passenger side behaves how i would expect but the drivers RH side still binds after adjustment.

After backing off the adjusters to release the brake, i operate the handbrake and release it but the brake binds again. In the end I gave up and took the van for a spin and everything appears ok.

I'm not convinced I've got the best brake adjustment though. I suspect the cable is binding in the tube somewhere and guess replacing it is the best option.

Any thoughts?
