Handbrake cable - removal and refitting

Removal

1. Unscrew the yoke adjustment nut completely and remove the yoke.

2. On models with rear drum brakes, remove the brake drums.

3. Free the cable from the brackets on the underbody, fuel tank and rear axle.

4. Unhook the ends of the inner cable from the handbrake operating lever. On models with rear drum brakes the levers are on the leading brake shoes and on models with rear disc brakes the lever is situated at the rear of the backplate.

5. Prise out the retaining ring and free the plastic sleeve from each brake backplate.

6. Withdraw the cable from the backplates and remove it.

Refitting
