Handbrake Return Spring is part of the transmission-mounted drum-type handbrake, acting on the relay lever within the parking brake mechanism.

When the handbrake is released, the spring pulls the relay lever back and retracts the brake shoes from the drum, ensuring the parking brake fully disengages and the shoes do not drag.

Frequently asked questions

What does the handbrake return spring (59663) do?

The handbrake return spring acts on the relay lever in the transmission-mounted drum handbrake. When you release the handbrake, the spring pulls the relay lever back and retracts the brake shoes off the drum, so the parking brake fully disengages and the shoes don't drag. Fitted to Series and Defender.

What happens when the handbrake return spring fails?

A weak or broken handbrake return spring lets the shoes stay in contact with the drum after you release the lever, so the parking brake drags and the drum can overheat. A snapped spring can also leave the handbrake feeling slack. Replacing it restores clean shoe retraction.

How many handbrake return springs are needed?

Typically one return spring is used per transmission drum handbrake assembly, and it's sold individually. Order one unless your mechanism has been modified. Inspect the spring whenever the handbrake drum is off, as it's cheap to renew while access is easy.

What codes cross-reference handbrake spring 59663?

Handbrake return spring 59663 lists BR 0331 as a cross-reference, with the 59663 code also used by BritPart and AllMakes, and 59663ES by Hotbray. Quote any of these when matching the transmission drum handbrake relay lever spring.
