I've felt for some time now that I really would like the rear brake pedal to be just a bit higher to get a bit more 'bite' without having to angle my ankle down quite so much to operate it.
The workshop manual shows the rear brake pedal on page 365 and how to do many things but not how to adjust it up or down. Perhaps RE feel it's too obvious...
With the engine in the frame it's quite a fiddle as clearance is a bit tight. I had to loosen the hex nut a little which enables me to flip the circlip up, which is part of the operating pin for the lever. That pin has to be removed and then the clevis from the master cylinder can be rotated enough to allow a new position to be obtained for the lever itself. I found three rotations sufficient. Now is the fiddling bit. Getting the circlip and pin back through the clevis and lever. That done , retighten the hex nut to lock it in place.
Success. Brake really works easily now.
