Re: understanding the e-brake 200 85

I dunno man, it sounds like you are up sh*t creek. Have you come to any conclusions yet?

I think if you cut the cable, you still are not going to be able to pull the rotor+shoes+etc off, because the inner part of the shoes are not going to clear the hub, and you won't be able to pull the axle out because all this junk is still in the way. I am talking about the part of the brake shoe that is perpindicular to the brake shoe surface, and is parallel to the hub surface.

If I were in your position, I would be considering taking a grinder to the rotor and breaking it into pieces to get it off. And I wouldn't cut the brake cable just yet, because you might not have to. I dunno how tough the cast iron will be to grind, but it doesn't look like you have much choice. And use a BF hammer, too!

Good luck, and definitely let us know how it turns out!
