I think the best solution is to replace handbrake with genuine Ford Wheel Chocks. I think they should come as standard with all falcons.

the solution is remove the rear rotors so you can access the h/brake shoes....remove shoes and put a shamfer all the way around the shoe and scuff up shoe with sandpaper....reinstall with good quality high temp grease on the back of were it contacts the backing plate and were it clips in....back adjuster off right of inside cab and reinstall rotor making sure it is ok (machine or replace if worn) adjust h/barake up at rear wheels (adjust until you cant turn rotor and then back/off two or three clicks....then readajust in cab lever should come up 6 clicks....all done...this is what ford do....

Is the Ford method a permanent fix, or will it eventually come back?

I was told by a mechanic at work that all you can really do is to make sure the handbrake is properly adjusted ?? and to also adjust the handbrake lever?? I can't argue against this as I haven't been able to get a hoist to raise it properly. I will soon cause I can't afford to have work do it... $100.00 a the least :O

The shamfer all the way round the edge of the shoe sounds like a good idea. Maybe later in the holidays, I could give it a try with JC? LOL! GK

My handbrake was making a really loud squeal like noise. All I had to do was adjust it at the drum, and ta-da squeal free for me.

I just get in, turn on ac make sure windows up, music playing, then release handbrake and proceed to reverse. No squeal for me.

Both Kennedy Greentree in Singleton and Camel Gas reckon the drums go out of round causing the squeaking, surely a pair of DBA slotted rotors wouldn't come from the factory with ovoid drums???? When I had the rotors off I slackened off the cable at the handbrake lever and adjusted up the mechanism in the drum as I had no handbrake by then. I'll give Clint's fix a try sometime when I have to get under the back end.

The issue with the brakes is common to all cars that run the same design - obviously AU and BA falcons, but also plenty of Magnas and commondores etc. Chamfering the edges can work (but not in all cases), and is worth a try as it's something you can do yourself.

You'd think they'd have it sorted by now... I recall the VB Commodore's "top hat" disc/drum rear brake design was big news in 1978. Or is it to do with the brake linings being on a single band rather than 2 separate shoes like drum brakes used to have?
