This shaft is connected to the handbrake mechanism at the forward (font of car) At the rear of car, this shaft contains the eccentrics that pushes a Bullet tapered metal pin into the activation mechanism. When the brake pedal is activated the first bullet pushes the activation mechanism. When the handbrake is set, this second bullet pushes the mechanism into activation. So first, check that the shaft is installed and the two pins are in place. The shaft is held in place at the calliper by a slide and locking pin of the front side of the calliper. When this shaft is rotated by the handbrake the handbrake pin activates the mechanism . This mechanism connects to the handbrake levers which are bolted to the front of the callipers. The design aims to ensure that the hydraulics and handbrake are constantly adjusted to wear. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>I have an exploded diagram and happy to help.
