Yeah i think it might be a problem with those slider pins now its been mentioned paul. i would take the carrier off and try and take them apart to grease them or something maybe?

if you can get the pins out of the sliders, run a drill bit in the holes in the carrier, than stuff loads of copper grease in the hole to lubricate the pin.

dont forget to pump the pedal loads of times before operating the handbrake.

this is what you are looking for.

you need to pull these out and clean them up with sand paper.

the holes these go into need reaming out with the drill bit.
