Hi guys, I had to sort my rear brakes today which i have now done and everything ok, but i noticed that the passenger side hand brake cable, and broken out of its housing at the rear disc. I know this will fail its mot in march so i am going to repalce them. My question is, how do you remove the centre consol, to get behind the handbrake, to replace the cable. regards stuart

Hand brake Cable 

Is there anybody that can help me with the handbrake issue. How do you remove the centre consol to remove the handbrake cables. regards stuart

Hi, Sorry to be a right killjoy, but, this is a b****** of a job. It really needs the car well off the ground as there is a lot of work to do including drilling out the old cable fastenings. My son in law, a mechanic, maintains my machine and he took it to the garage to do it and I paid the bill. Not a job to do rolling on the ground in this weather! Paul :-(

Howdy Stuart. Have you got a photo of this you can post up?

Handbrake Cables 

I dont think it is very difficult at all. I am a mechanic myself and i already managed to losen teh cable off right up to, where the cable goes through the floor, into the cabin, behind teh hand brake cable. I only need to know, how to take the centre consol out, so i can release the handbrake cable from teh rear of the handbrake. I dont want to start pulling at things incase i break something. Could somebody please guide me thorugh, the removal of the centre consol around the handbrake cable. regards stuart

Does this help?

Console
