What's the go with VE handbrakes?

Heal?

… his back, sleep apnea, teeth, …

It will be the mechanics problem next year. I don't have the patience for getting those shoes back on and will end with a lot of yelling.

If I am coming over,
(was planning a weeks holiday in TAS),
(but things may change)
I would do it for you,
as I got it down to a bit of an art.

But not sure what’s in store next year.

That would be awesome @krusing. I'd be happy to get them ready to pull off and get back on again. Just not knowing the trick getting the shoe back on will cause me too much frustration, and it's not worth the agro. I can keep adjusting them for another year or two.

Rubber wheel chock until then?

Gets out to put chock under wheel. Has to run fast as the car starts to roll!

Spoke to the garage who has done a stack of these. He reckons if they get a good run they can do a side in 30mins.
I have the cable cam boots to replace at the same time so that might add 15mins per side, providing they can get the bolts loose enough to be able to slip the boots off and on again. Bolts can only move 5mm at the most before they hit the hub so I'll have to wait and see I suppose.

They come back late Jan so I'll book it in for mid-late Feb depending on how my finances are.
