You need to wind the caliper in and then out 1/4 of a turn to reset the ratcheting mechanism for the handbrake. as Honda Hardy said earlier in the post. Easy job Dude did both of mine in 20 mins this morning, only my mechanism has broken inside the caliper!

Rocking horse Sh1t bb1boy. Tried all the ones in the area. Even looked for Accords but all of them had no brakes on at all!

Damn.. do you have a local 'Lude owning friend that could possibly lend you one for an hour to get you through your test?

Nope. I go months without seeing another. And when I do I fall in love all over again! It's one of the main reasons I needed to have one!
