I've got a MY2000 classic UK Turbo. I am trying to change the rear disks but the handbrake shoes seem to be stopping the disk coming off.

I have remembered to release the handbrake! The disk is free to jiggle around but will only come about 5 mm off before it stops moving. I have found a small rubber grommet on the inside of the backing plate that comes out and gives some access to the inside of the drum but it is pretty small and I can't see much.

Any suggestions on how to release the shoes more from the drum to allow the disc off?

SHould I undo the cable at the lever end?

Any help appreciated

Having got of my butt and done some more searching on here I found this:

Which revealed all!

in the rear of the "backing plate" is an oblong rubber grommet which once removes allows access to the manual adjuster for the h/brake assembly - free the shoes right off and it will normally allow the disc to be removed
