Hope somebody can help me.  My husband is outside trying to take off the rear discs from my IS.  He's pulled out the rubber plug but doesn't how to adjust the handrake tension to release the shoes currently holding the disc in place.  can anybody explain exactly what needs to be done. Thanks.

put the hole at 6 o'clock and poke in a small flat headed screwdriver. in there is the hand brake adjuster toothed wheel. flick the adjuster down to release. it's the same as on old rear shoe brakes.

from reading it sounds like you need to turn the hole until you can see the adjuster either that or do it from the handbrake end .

The hole is very small and to be honest there isn't much to see. You can get a screw driver in but there is nothing to turn - does anybody know how to operate the adjustor???

OK, so I've backed the handbrake cable off at the handbrake itself but has made no difference. I am right in thinking that once the two 17mm caliper bolts have been removed and the caliper pulled away the disc should just come off? This is driving me mad! Any advice will be appreciated!!!!!!

put the hole at 6 o'clock and the adjuster is there flick it down to release and up to tighten

All this "push the pad against the disc" is a load of crap, go and buy a caliper tool just slide it between the pistons wind it out and it pushes both pistons back ready for the new ones....piece of P**s to do.

well done for having a go....so now you can be the brake expert of the club :lol:
