Hi all.
Is there a how to on changing à handbrake cable on a TF ?
Mine is full of rusty water and is sticking, it's worn the pads down and turned the disk blue!!!

Thanks. Pete.

Have a look here Pete:

Thanks for that. What about with the subframe exhaust etc still on the car. Seems there might be a probleme getting a plate off between the subframe and body.
Any views?

Pete.

I understand that the closing plate is an absolute pig to get off with the subframe in place. It is just possible but the assistance of a 5 year-old gynaecologist may help...

Coming back to this. My new cable arrived and looking at it, I’m wondering if that nasty closing plate needs to be removed. Can I not just pull the cable through the hole in the closing plate then feed the new one through ?

You can get to the bolts for the plate from underneath, easy if you have a 2 post lift.

IIRC The plate needs to come away as the shoulder on the cable slips side ways on to the plate.
