While hydraulic handbrakes might seem complex at first glance, they’re actually very simple and can be installed by anyone with some basic mechanical skills. Join us as we take a look at hydraulic handbrake systems here at the Rally School in northern NH.

This setup is typically installed in the middle of the normal rear brake circuit, so that the handbrake only operates on the rear wheels. For all of the details about hydraulic handbrake setup and installation, tune in to this quick video.
