Handbrake cables

How hard are they to change?

Doing the calipers, will do this at the same time.

David is the expert on rear callipers, i beleive the handbrake cables are a pig to do, but dont quote me. Someone must have done them

Apparently they're real pigs to do. I was discussing this with Chris(quicksilver) and he thinks you may need to drop the subframe slightly to do it properly.

I thought I had done a how to on this, but I must have forgotten to.

Just for you, here is a new how to. Hope it helps, although mine was done with the engine and subframe out, so you might want to employ someone with very small hands, or drop the subframe a bit.

+1 CJJ, i reckon this will be a pig of a job

It doesn't look like a "Sunday afternoon with the car parked on the yellow lines outside the house" type of job.

Also the cost doesn't encourage, over £40 per side.

Do they need replacing??? or was it a good thing to do whilst replacing the rear callipers?? :evil:
