Handbrake cable isn't attached to the caliper mate, you sure you've done it right???

There are 2 19mm bolts towards the back of the car and they unbolt and the caliper should just whack off

My bad, thought you were talking about the part that the pads sit in!

The bit with the handbrake cable in on the caliper bends forward with some brute force and the cable pops out
