Rear Brake change, handbrake issues
Discussion
Hello,
I have changed my rear brakes, because of worn down disc and pads
I removed the caliper by the main bolt and the allen key bolt
And this also meant i needed to remove the handbrake linkage,
I finally put the new disc on and got the caliper set up with the new pads and fitted the new caliper on
But we cant get the handbrake linkage on, is there a trick with this?
Basically now the new pads are on the handbrake cable is shorter !
Where is the handbrake cable adjuster?

that said, you should put the cable in the caliper BEFORE putting the calliper back on the disk and before you pads are pushed to meet the disk.
