Hello, need some advise. Hope you guys can help.
The problem:
My hand brake cable has snapped on the rh side. Now all I've done is having a look what I need, so took wheel and brake disc off. Saw cable snapped, pulled it out and took the broken end from the brake shoes. Now I just want to put back, because I first need to source the cable and that can take a wile.
Problem : Disc doesn't fit back. The shoes have expanded (yes tested the brake to see if everything works) but apparently not fully retracted. Anything I try will not work. Any tricks to get this solved ?
Yes its a '99 - 50th anniversary FL and everything is a bit corroded, but I've had it off before and put it back no probs.
Any help welcome.
Many thanks,
FD
