that's good to know. I got told the hardest part was screwing the piston back in and linking up with the handbrake spigot ?

There's a spring to compress I did it with a socket and g clamp. Once compressed a circlip go's in if I remember right. The park brake lever mech is easy

Here is a link to a picture! 13 is sort of bean shaped lol as you apply the park brake the lever rod turns and pushes it out to apply to move the piston out
