Handbrake removal? from caliper?

[bakewell001]

I found that one of my rear bleed nipples has been previously sheered off the other day. So ive found a new rear caliper the other day to replace it with that is in good order.
Just want to know how to take the handbrake out of the caliper and if i can re use it. or if its a one fit item and i need a new one if i take it out?

I know the end just sits in the L bracket but don't get the bit that goes through the bottom of the caliper?
Doing this in a few days if anybody can shed some light.

They don't like coming out when old and by then you just wish you had a new one..

They're cheap, so either buy one first, or check the stock at the local motorfactors before you start..

Pliers or grips on the end of the cable to pull the end away from the arm.

A sufficient sized drift/punch should then knock the sleeve out of the caliper.

Although to be fair, as above - a pair cables isn't too expensive.
