just fitted calipers and handbrake cable to the back of my 2wd saph cossie and they are now binding....... im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the handbrake cable/ handbrake.

also the handbrake is realy stretchy, is that just the cable streching? as i thought they may be pre stretched

help need asap please as i want to get it booked in for the mot tomo and it aint gona pass with the brakes as they are


cheers

tried that, even tried driving wid the handbrake on

Ginge !

take the rear brake disks out and then pump the brakes and see if the piston comes out


MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WINDING TOOL THOUGH AS OTHERWISE YOU AINT GETTING THE DISKS BACK ON IF THEY WORK
