Urgent Rear Disc Removal Problem

[sir john]

changing the rear discs, pads and upper wishbones and ball joints.

But i cannot get the old discs off because thay are binding on the parking brake shoes.

I know there is an adjuster screw accessed through a hole in the disc when a rubber bung is removed but i cannot locate the screw.

Is it at 12 o'clock or 9 o'clock or..........

Really need to crack on with this so any help would be appreciated.

Its at 6 o'clock mate.

Look at this tutorial I did for the GS, the setup is the same for the LS.

It's edge on teeth at the bottom, 6 o'clock. Use a torch if you can and look down the hole!

What a fantastic tutorial. I would never have found that little adjuster wheel. I was peering through the hole looking for a screw head to turn. Thanks again mate.

The new OS upper suspension arm is on and and that side of the undercarraige has been cleaned and wax oiled. NS tomorrow and she's ready for another 19 years and 180+k miles.

Tip for anyone doing the upper suspension arms; Clean and WD40 all the nuts and bolts for about 8 months like i did and it will all come apart without drama. You can get the ball joint nut off without removing the driveshaft and a hub if you have a good quality double cranked 19mm ring spanner.
