brian grech 114 Posted May 7, 2018 Hi can you please tell me what's the exact purpose of the plunger shown in the pics, broke when i tried to remove for powder coating. Will they work without them, where i can buy replacement parts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 767 Posted May 7, 2018 It's to gauge the free play in the brakes, doubt you'd get new ones, you squeeze the outer part (from the inside face) then push them out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortina-city 141 Posted May 9, 2018 as craig says Brina, you press this in to see if there is any adjustment needed on shoes, normally the self adjusting ratched cog and sprag will take up adjustment but as safe guard you can press the plastic plunger in to see how far the travel is, they can be bought on ebay from time to time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
