Handbrake cable to lever rusted solid
« on: 19 May 2013, 15:58:29 »

So pleased was I with my T reg 2 litre handbrake job, I decided to do likewise on my 2003 3.2  explod manual. I took one brake apart, but the scissors lever arrangement was working fine. What was wrong with it was the cable end was rusted solid to the lever, again denying me the leverage. On the other side all I needed to do was remove the cable spring, force the cable off the lever, clean up and replace - simple job.
