URGENT brakes question HELP
I bought a new set of rear calipers (sierra) and fitted and bled them tonight, and after a bit of confusion why the pedal still felt spongy, i found
brake fluid leaking from around the handbrake mechanism area - where the handbrake arm fits to the caliper.
it looks to me like a seal has not been fitted right, but im hoping there is a simpler solution as it took me hours to fit the thing today, and i have
sva tomorrow!
also, is there a simple way of fitting the handbrake cable over the arm, or does it just need jiggling and forcing?
thanks gents
Tom

Duff caliper
Fitting the hanbrake cable should be easy if it is fully slack at the cockpit end.
