All done and dusted
Many thanks to you all for advice and contributions. It would not have gone so well without your input.
Here's a before I started snap.
Nowt wrong with the brakes but since I had taken the other 3 apart for a clean up - I thought I would tackle this one.
They just look as if the springs and internals could do with a clean.
Followed advice on releasing the cables.
The adjusters had been screwed right down so no need to remember where they were.
Here's a couple of the Swisstop pads. I think they need renewing? The small indent indicators are no longer visible.
Did someone on this forum recently saw they had a problem sourcing these pads?
So - everything went back together. Greased a few threads and tweaked the cable.
Once again, sincere thanks to all who contributed. I guess it's not a big job - but to me these things have a habit of getting out of hand - with things not going back the way they came apart.

Went for a spin and all 14 gears working. Am able to stop on a sixpence. If only I could find one.
