    Hey all, how does the handbrake cable detach from rear calipers?
    Does this need to screw of or is mine just seized and need a good wiggle about with a pair of grips?

    With the handbrake released you should be able to push the spring loaded arm that the cable is attached to - to give you some slack and then you can undo the cable nipple from the arm.

    It's the black part in this photo, I can get the inside part of the cable off no problem but having problems with the other part, don't want to break something and having to replace more parts.

    Right - they should just pull out - try some penetrating oil on it
