Caliper Rebuild Picture Request

Recommended Posts

Atari Boy

I am about to try and rebuild a set of standard 1.9 rear calipers. I have completely stripped them and have a Bigg Red rebuild kit. The hand brake mechanism part looks a bit complicated with more than one way of it going back together with the spring causing me most concern.

Does anyone have a photo of how the hand brake mechanism should look once assembled or able to offer a simple description?

 

I have bought a Haynes brake manual but it is too generic.

 

Thanks
