Hand brake adjustment

Post by Matt58 » Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:11 pm

Happy new year everyone, can anyone tell me whether or not I have to manually adjust handbrake after replacing rear callipers and pads, or will they just self adjust? Any info much appreciated. Matt.

Happy new year too you too. They will self adjust , Just make sure you pump the pedal a good few times before touching the handbrake . Also, they are wind back calipers aswell .
