Having done the above task many times before on different cars i have now completed it on our Cooper D . Quite a simple job with the right tools and the brake piston rewind tool makes life so simple .
Now the discs and the pads have been replaced and i have two problems
1. How is the Brake sensor fitted ?
2. How is the handbrake adjusted ?
As far as the first question is concerned the cable and sensor had been damaged and i was missing from the actual brake pad . I have installed a new cable but cannot get the sensor to fit how i think it should (yes i know i should have looked at how they go together before i installed them ) Can anyone advise how the sensor fits ?
Secondly the handbrake lever now needs to be pulled up very high and needs adjusting . I have done the usual search and have established thatt it might be more complicated , or not . Is it just a case of adjusting the nut under the handbrake boot or do i have to do something else as possibly suggested but never actually answered in the other threads ! I am sure it is just adjust the nut but i want to be sure
