Hi All,
Can anyone give me the correct procedure to replace handbrake cable on the 80 series, at a cost of $93 would hate to twist/bend/crimp on the first attempt, can't find any info on "how to" in archives or the other
forum lcool,
Or is it a job for the pro's
Thanks
Fourbyman

Hi 4bman
I haven't replaced
mine but I remember asking the mechanic about it and he shuddered. He said that replacing the cable is a last resort for them. It's apparently a b@st@rd of a job.
Maybe best left to the pro's but be prepared to dig into the life savings.
