I stripped a rear calliper down a few years ago to clean it etc and never rebuilt it....stupidly forgetting to take a note of how the whole thing goes back together!I've done most of it now but don't know which way the five spring washers go together  Is it ((((( or ()()( ? ________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

I'm in the same situation! How the hell do you get it back together? If i put the spring washers in the way you are doing it - )()(), nothing will go together as its far too tight! Anyone got a photo/guide!?Cheers |

Under a lot of tension. Its actually really difficult to get the washers to compress enough to get that springy thing reattached that hooks up to the hand brake cable. I eventually did mine but not before skinning my knuckles a few times!________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Yep, they are a proper bas**rd to do, I only did one side on my last car after taking it all apart, finding it was all ok then struggling like hell for half an hour to get it back together!

you need to compress them. I found that if you push the arm in slightly. put the washers in then compress them then push the arm the rest of the way in it is not that hard to do. just a bit fiddly |
