Search is NOT my friend. Grrrr

2 questions:

1: Are the rear calipers "wind-back"?
2: How do you adjust the handbrake? At the caliper or in the cabin?

Gonna do pads and rotors later, and a quick heads-up would be cool.

Thanks

The handbrake is a drum type inside the rear rotor hat, so you can just push the piston back in without winding.

There's a great guide with pics in the member's area of Club VR-4:

You may as well clean & lube your slider pins while you are at it, but be sure to use the correct grease. You can get the Permatex stuff in sachets from Supercheap or Bursons.

Below is a pic I took when I was changing mine. There are two holes on the face of the hat, screw a bolt into them and the rotors pop off really easily.
