What do you mean by handbrake cam? The mechanism that has the big spring in it?

These get gunge'd up quite alot. Is it not possible to clean it and free up the mechanism?
If that doesn't solve it you might be easiest getting a reconditioned caliper.

I think I am going to go down the reconditioned calliper route, unless someone has a second hand one. where do you get recon callipers from?
