[s-cars] Rear Brake Caliper ????

[Joshua Van Tol]

Paul, it's possible to do this without dropping the propshaft and exhaust,
but it isn't much fun. I don't recall exactly how I did it, but I do recall
that I received some lacerations about the hands and wrist.

Last time I did this (the cables failed again after 7 years) I dropped the
exhaust and prop-shaft. Much easier.
