I have emailed you a instruction sheet explaining all about the handbrake adjustment

Question

My handbrake seems a bit "long" as well, Ian, do you think you could e-mail me one as well?
Thanks,
Alcazar

Lads,

I put up some info when I fitted Ian's rear discs (inc. the Subaru handbrake sheet) - here

Ian,

If you have more detailed/comprehensive fitting instructions I can host them on my website and save you e-mailing everybody

Biggest difficulty I had was using the screwdriver to turn the handbrake adjuster - I made a double bended tool from a strip of steel - I suggest that you make it about the width of the hole in the backplate, then you can be certain that it is on the adjuster....

It took about 3 hrs to swap both disks and pads on (this was for both sides)..
