Just fitted 18" wheels with 18mm spacers, all ok but got a scraping noise on the l/h side, couldnt find if they were touching the struts etc so put the standard 17's back on.
There is still a scraping noise! but only from l/h side as with the 18" wheels! argh!!
Take the l/h side rear wheel off and i cant see anything catching?
Take caliper off, remove the disk and some pieces of spring fall out! (2 springs)
I'm assuming they are from the handbrake assembly???

what are they for? managed to put the disk back on etc but just wondered what they for before i moved the car! :)
Can i temporarily remove the brake shoes from the l/h hand brake assembly as i would really like to use the car this weekend! No chance of getting any parts until next week etc!
 
I have removed the hand brake shoe so i can use the car this weekend until i get a new tension spring.
Will just have to leave it in gear when parking!
 
I've got the tensioner springs (number 6 on p140 of the pdf)
Help!
Does anyone know the correct set-up/installation procedure? I dont have a manual and i'm not 100% how it all goes together!
