Title: handbrake cable pulling through wheel end mount
Post by: terry paget on 12 May 2013, 17:58:37

Just fitted new handbrake cable. I removed the old cable carefully from the coil mounts on the trailing arms, not wedging them open, but to no avail. The new cable began to burrow into the mounts and the adjustment was lost. Had to dismantle and put washers on the cable ends to effect a cure. Is this normal?

On older Omegas yes - rust strikes again I'm afraid. ;)

I just did my HB cable and found the mount very soft!
It was actually ruses to the cable and had to peal them open a little and close them back up.
Time will tell if they start to give.....
