Are there 2 threaded holes like on the fronts? To put bolts in to release?

Sorry if not!

Good Luck!

Thanks gents,

When I back the disk off with some set screws, something seems to be jammed in the underside of the top hat - I've tapped the disc with a hammer but its not coming off. I've put it back together now, I'll have to let a garage bother about it.

Cheers,

Firstly you don't need to take the 32mm nut off and secondly was the handbrake off as discs wont come off with h/b on..........

Aren't the pads for the handbrake on the inside of the disc?. They need to be backed off the disc or else when you take off the disc it can break parts of the assembly...there was a thread about this problem a few weeks ago...There is an inspection hole on the backplate...you remove a grommet and then use a flat blade screwdriver to turn the adjuster and release the assembly...the adjuster is orientated vertically.
