Handbrake cable seized.

Zednero · Dec 2, 2013

Hey guys, so had a few problems recently, all very basic. But thats not why i'm here this time

Here for my handbrake cable. Due to bad earths, the plastic has melted around the handbrake cable, and it's now jammed. Any advice on releasing it?

slice and replace, they're only £11 for a cable

Easy to replace? (Rave have instructions?)

Zednero · Dec 2, 2013

Oh, and where shall i cut it from?

Dr_evil · Dec 2, 2013

well I'd take out the centre console, remove the entire thing and cut it from about there.

Remove hand brake plate and just unclip cable

Handbrake plate, is that the square underneath the car? Lol

Dr_evil · Dec 2, 2013

its the plate behind the drum, 4 bolts to remove

Zednero · Dec 2, 2013

Cheers bro, all sorted, though mine only had 2 bolts and 2 rivets?

Still managed to chop the cable though, and have ordered a new one.

When it comes in next few days i'll re-attach everything

Hmm no idea then, but at least its off

Mine was 4 bolts holding the plate to the box face then obviously the two kind of captive pop things holding the shoes to the plate

Just a quickie, do i have to take the shoes off to fit the new cable?
