Took the handbrake drum off to drill out a snapped stud for the speedo cable, and noticed these two wires hanging. Anybody know what they're for/where they go?
One black, and one red and grey(white?) by the look of it.

Thanks James'
Presumably temp as in temperature and not temporary?
Just wrap them in heat shrink and cable tie out of the way somewhere?
 
Not fair - you got your prop off! After going to every place that sells tools on a Sunday I finally managed to get some imperial spanners (japanese bikes are metric so guess what all my tools are?) and still couldn't get the b****y thing off, special tool ordered to try again this weekend....

Someone in the same club as me!! All my tools are metric bar a few imperial sockets! The company selling the propshaft tool are making a good few bucks off us!
 
It's a one piece extension bar, 9/16 6 point socket one end and a 3/8 square drive the other (on the one we bought anyway). It would have worked with an impact gun - if the piece of poo Hawk impact gun I bought from ebay would have actually had some guts, seriously don't buy a hawk 14.4v cordless impact wrench it is useless!
We spent a weekend with lots of swearing and being fought the whole way by a 110 Defender that really didn't want to play nicely but in the end we got the prop off, replaced the broken handbrake cable, changed the hand brake shoes/springs/virtually everything in there, fitted the straight through middle box, set up the hand brake properly and refitted the prop. All done on the floor outside my council garage, seriously proud of my son @OMeredith54 for getting stuck into it and battling through even when it seemed the whole thing was against us.

A question though, sort of related - the Defender came with one of those (in my mind) unsafe and lethal farm jacks - ask him about the handle print on his cheek! Is there a safer alternative or is it just a case of having a bigger foot on the bottom?

I have some you could have borrowed, too late now I suppose.

Get a bottle jack out of a disco being broken.
