how freely should the rear wheels spin....?
with both rear wheels off the ground, handbrake off and in neutral how freely should the rear wheels spin? (discs)
I've done the above and verified that the pads and shoes are not biting and there is still alot of resistance.
Any thoughts...?

Hi all, after my last mot the mech said I could probably do with some new handbrake cables, fair enough I thought.
I was just wondering if BMW still sell them and for how much? (1983 325i sport coupe)
Some went on ebay for a grand total of £48.50, alot or not?
