Brakes sticking on rear
#4
Assuming the discs and pads are good, you want to remove the pads and carrier, clean them up thoroughly with a wire brush and sandpaper on the sliders. Reassemble with a bit of copper grease on the sliders and the back of the pads. If that doesn't fix it, you're most likely looking at caliper issues and will need a rebuild kit or a new one/s.

For the handbrake cables, I'd back off the adjuster in the cabin, release the inside ends, pull them through under the car, remove them from the calipers and then reassemble starting under the car. It's worth putting a touch of copper grease on the end of the cable where it sits in the caliper before attaching to the lever, it helps with getting them out again.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.
