22v rear brakes refurb question

[boondougal]

Hi Guys, i'm just in the middle of an all round calliper refurb.. St165 fronts and mk2 rears...

the question i have is how to you remove the handbreak stricker plate that sits behind the big spring?



you can see it top right in this pic.. i forgot to take a specific photo of it.

I have removed the spring and undone the nut, i can get the plate about 1cm out (it rotates to avoid the calliper) but it doesn't seem to what to go any further.

Any pointers gratefully received

yu have to remove the interior of the calliper first
theres a threaded shaft where the piston works , and then there is a circlip , you have to remove all that ....

look in here http://mr2.org.nz/phpbb3/viewtopic.p...66fad164058189

it has to be all empty on the piston pocket before that comes out.

let me know if you need the special tool 09756–00010 (Nut to remove the circlip)
I have one , can ship it to you and u return when ur done....

Gon,

that's a brilliant post to help me. I had searched the net loads and hadn't found anything so that makes it really clear thankyou. I had thought that might be the case.

Your offer would be well received, i will PM the address. let me know if you want me to cover postage etc, i will of course make a donation to the club.#

thanks

Sam
