Id like to do my handbrake refurb in about an hour but i think it will be more like 5-6 and mucho swearing  especially that bit where you try and poke through and loosen the shoe

I hate that bit.. it was even worse on the Jag as some plonker had put the disc on upside down leaving no hole to go through to get to the adjuster  Took a three leg puller wedged on the disc and a very loud bang before the disc came off .. taking the brake shoe material with it

Nope, not on the XJ40 with outboard discs; the hub (with disc off and handbrake mech visible) is on the left here: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5454/x308e.jpg

There's two (extra) holes in the disc, one of which should line up with the hole in the hub.. but it's possible to put it on so that neither hole lines up. Which was annoying..

Although seeing as the hubs are still in bits in the garage, of no great concern besides the enormous bang it made coming off..
