Changing rear pads on AE86...

do you have to do anything special to the handbrake cable etc..?

Nothing special with the cable, but you should wind the piston back into
the caliper to allow the new pads to fit correctly. There is a spring loaded
spiral rachet thingy (technical term Tongue

) in behind that automatically
adjusts the handbrake as the pads wear.

If you don't wind the piston back in, you could have problems fitting new
pads, but hardly likely to be a problem with brand new calipers.
