when i did all my brakes like a few months ago I pulled apart the rears as well and when i put them back together the handbrake doesn't work anymore.
any Ideas where I went wrong? theirs that spring and the pieces that fit together but thought I put it all back together the same....
i'm gonna pull it apart again this arvo but maybe i won't find the problem again just wanna see if theirs a obvious fix..

That lever on the inner side of the back brake, well i undid that bolt then popped that lever off.
Theirs a little oval shaped type a nut, well I screw it one way it goes into the brake then u can keep turning it I guess to adjust,
and the other way it pops out and then stops like when then handbrake in down and can't screw it any mores..
But either way i turn it, I can still spin my disks! it should lock on right? when I turn that little nut into the back of the caliper..
