Got my Golf inspected this morning, so that's both cars out of
the way for another year. I stayed up late last night reassembling
my rear brake calipers (I had replaced the piston seals and dust boots)
and installing new parking brake cables. The calipers took a long time
because I goofed on one of them by leaving out a circlip. Things got so bound
up inside the caliper that it took nearly 2 hours just to get the
piston back out. The parking brake cables weren't easy either,
because they didn't fit. I had to shorten the cable tubes (the tubes
that are mounted through the body of the car, which the cables slide
into) in order for the ends to come up far enough to attach to the
parking brake lever. I don't know what the cables that I replaced
were from (apparently something other than an A2 Golf).
