Rear brakes Help!!

[Dizzie]

I asked my boss and he said he never disconnects the cables and he's never had a problem with the hardbrake after replacing pads and having to wind the caliper in...

I would advise changing them though rather than piss about trying to loosen them up.

I had a seized 1 on my edition one so I've bought 2 mk3 ones.

Maybe i didn't knacker my caliper on my passat after all 
Its strange how exactly the same thing happened to me though.
Cable connected or not, the self adjusting mechanism is knackered so buy some mk3 calipers

Its fu(king annoying as the caliper was fine, the actual pads had rusted up.
Ummm wheres the best pleace to get mk3 calipers?
Or is it time to break the damm thing?

have you tried tightening the handbrake cables under the handbrake lever surround/gaitor?  Perhaps they're just too loose!

I just bought some mk3 calipers off iib3327
PM him

Or look on ebay or go hunting in your local scrappy.

are you sure the rachet was put back in correctly? hard to describe but if you've rotate the rachet round a bit and push it back in it wont work - needs to go in at a certain position
