Yep, I got the jack handle out of the boot, threaded it through the loop and gave it the full beans, the cable itself pulls just fine, it's just like there's nothing on the end of it! |

You can cut the cables but depends on why they are stuck if its just bad adjustment may be worth also looking to see if the shoes can be backed off at all if there stuck solid you may not get the holes to line up with adjuster i assume as the cable has been pulled the arm in the epg has released have a look at bodseys brake bible i know its on disco3 under the wiki |

Tried to back them off this afternoon, unfortunately they are stuck solid so, as you say, we cannot get the discs to line up - I'm really struggling to see another way other than cutting the cables! |

Well i think you will have to cut cables and hope they release the shoes from the discs and maybe rap the discs to get them in |

Agreed, but I can't see how that's possible on the side of the street with no ramp / lift |

Can you give me a hint or 3 as to how, my mobile mechanic hasn't done one before and couldn't see how to unjam in-situ |

I've been down this road,, even cutting the cables didn't free off the discs, ended up with new disc's and Epb module etc 2010 RRS, TDV8

AH is the 2010 code so it should be something like AH22 or AH42.
