Hi I am about overhaul my brakes any advise would be great, how do you remove the hand brake cable from the calliper? See pic below

If its the same as a V8S you either need to slacken off the cable significantly to allow the cable to be pulled through and off the hook, or undo the pinch bolt on the splined shaft of the handbrake and pull it off - though I guess with an assembled car the exhaust is probably in the way to to that.
Either way once its slackened off enough it comes off just how you would expect.

Looking again I think you have removed the spring - I think thats one pig of a job to get back on and ford had a special tool to do it.

Thanks that seems logical to slacken the cable
