Rear brake return spring

<< < (2/2)

Oddjob:
Can I suggest you also consider sliding some carb overflow tubing over the metal tang that goes against the frame, it protects the frame paint from damage.

100% in agreement with Ken on the rubber tubing, that spring really does dig into the paint.
Before you remove the brake pedal George make sure you can see the dot mark on the shaft and the corresponding one on the brake pedal. If you can't see one mark it yourself otherwise you'll be taking the pedal on and off trying to find it's best position for your foot!

I behaved like an idle sod and let the professionals do it again, the job looked difficult without my own garage to do it in. Snag is I forgot to take that piece of tubing with me. Oh well, if I get problem I'll use the artists brush....  ;)
