Jaguar rear E-Brake and rear caliper help?

[767Jockey]

I'm about to start working on the rear brake setup in my Jag-reared Contemporary. My emergency brake setup is COMPLETELY backward - the handle is on the drivers side of the tunnel. The E-Brake caliper that the outer sheath of the cable is mounted to is on the driver side, and the E-Brake caliper with the inner core of the cable attached is on the Passenger side. I want to put the handle in it's correct position on the passenger side, which means I have to disassemble the entire brake setup and swap the E brake calipers, no? Can the E brake calipers be swapped without removing the brake calipers? This whole rear setup is like nothing else I've ever seen. Anyone got any ideas? Any easy tips on an easy way to remove the rear calipers and E-brake system? Are they infact usable on either side?

Yes you can swap them without removing the calipers.There are two bolts with a spring bracket on each caliper that hold the handbrake mechanism to the caliper.I will not tell you that it is easy to do it with the rear end in the car ,but I have done more than once myself.The other way is to drop the complete rearend,it should'nt take you more than an hour to drop it out.It will be really easy to fix your brake problem then.Re-installing the rear end is also not as difficult as it looks.Support and lift the diff (complete rearend)with a floor jack 4 bolts on top of the diff,driveshaft and get the fulcrum shafts backed out of the forward mounts (just enough to clear) .Check all the little washers and grease seals on the fulcrum.Only two sets should fall out. Good luck Voila!
