Hi all,
Thought I would replace my stuffed handbrake cable this morning before MOT.
Can't be that hard, trusty Haynes says just disconnect from lever and pull through floor hole. Eh??
Looking at the attached pics, I seem to be missing something obvious.
I noticed a small tab midway down cable. so opened it up but doesn't seem to matter what position I have the lever in I can't push the cable through its top holder. In up position, the flat adjuster catches the lever mechanism below it and fully down there isn't enough room to slip the cable under the little tab.
I also noticed there are some fins where the cable comes through the floor. These are expanded around the plastic hole so surely Haynes 'pull the cable through the hole in the floor plan' aint going to happen. Would need to compress these 5 little fins first?
Any advice from somebody who has disconnected the cable from the lever much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave.
