Ah POOH! Are you doing it on the ground because I pity da fool who does that.

 

Yeah I'm all too familiar with what I'm looking at there - I used to work for Archer and Lupp and also Ray Hartley - so used to do a few Jags *twitch*.

 

The trickiest part is getting the handbrake cable back on the callipers.  *twitch* *twitch*

Uggh not fun.

 

Did mine last year - I won't offer any advice because I obviously muffed it - hand brake pads came off the backing caused all sorts of weird issues (brakes sticking in reverse etc) Half way through fixing it now (I've taken the handbrake system off while waiting for the parts to arrive)

I found that the reason why the pads come off the backing is because the actually pad material is slightly too wide for the slot they sit in, so when you tighten up the retaining bolt if pulls it off, Don't feel too bad, the mechanics who got it ready for vin last year fucked it up too.

 

I fixed it by filing them down to fit properly and no problem.

 

Well no problem except they won't pass a wof I guess.

Just make sure they don't try and pull the hand brake on while rolling. The first thing that will do is rip the pads off the backing or if you are lucky then out of the callipers. So as long as it holds 1 in 5 then it should be no problem. Slash jam it in park on a hill.

If the pads had come off the backing then it was probably someone (testing station I'm guessing?) pulling the handbrake on while the car is moving.
