rg500 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I went to fit the the rear discs and pads today and was unsuccessful as I couldn’t get the discs off Is there something I’m missing. Can someone shed some light pictures would be great looked on YouTube as someone had a video on there but skipped the part when they took the disc off and said that there is a hole to release the handbrake and showed it but it wasn’t the clear of how to do it.

Scooter Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) There should be a rubber grommet on the disc face, prize this out and rotate the disc until you can see inside it a notched wheel which you lever up or down (flat blade screw driver) to tighten/loosen the handbrake shoes. Will try and find a link. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?317271-Handbrake-adjuster&highlight=handbrake Edited June 9, 2020 by Scooter (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rg500 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks for the reply if you could find the link that would be great I have seen previous threads on here but they are quite old and won’t open properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You likely have a lip inside, if you adjust it one way the handbrake slack will be taken up, the other will withdraw the shoes and the disc should come off (is it loose or stuck solid as they can stick to the hub a bit too, if it's wobbly but won't pull off it's all the handbrake shoes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 If the disc turns freely with the handbrake off then I would say that's not the issue, more than likely it needs a little persuasion with a mallet on the back of the disc, as they corrode and stick themselves to the hub face quite nicely!

rg500 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yeah the discs spin freely bu I think that they are corroded onto the hub so I suppose I better start putting on the pb10 to free them a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
