rear brake replacement

[zeolite]

Anybody done this? Do I need to slacken off the handbrake cable beforehand? if so how?

thanks

You don't necessarily need to slacken it off. If it does require it, then the adjuster is just behind the handbrake lever. You'll have to unscrew the surround.

What are you putting on the back? If you go too serious, then you may benefit from fitting a bias valve.

I had the calipers off but couldn't shift the discs even with bolts screwed in on the front of the disc.

just replacing 70k old worn discs.

There will be a big ridge on the rear of the disc and its sometimes very hard to get the discs of cause they catch on the brake shoes
