Right, I'm just refurbing a pair of rear callipers. Before I strip the pair I want to refurb I stripped an old calliper down so if I fucked anything up i wouldn't be up shit creek.
Anyway, I removed the arm/pin that the handbrake cable is attached to. Underneath that I removed the threaded pin which the piston screws onto, underneath that are discs (see pic) which acts as a spring.
Now the fun part, how do I compress these discs to enable me to slide the pin back in after I replace the O ring?
