was going to change my rear discs and pads, just wondering if anyone has experienced after doing this it has effected the handbrake resulting in having to adjust it, or does it adjust itself. cheers.

Did mine and it adjusts itself, just do the pads/disk.

not teaching to suck eggs but using windback tool and making sure boot not bunching up?

on occasion i've had to flick the edge of the boot seal up on the piston to release air as it was ballooning the boot.

will inspect boot seals and regrease sliders. used pointed pliers on old Mitsubishi to wind back piston, nightmare will order wind back tool. cheers.

Yep just did mine and the handbrake was absolutely fine, apart from the rewind tool make sure You have the 14M multi spline socket to undo the caliper carrier assy this was an expensive lesson for me and the bolts were a royal pain in the ass to get
Off!
