Why does Mark make it look so easy?

Need to adjust the handbrake to get it through the MOT.

Do you need to remove the heat shields on both sides?

Yes, you will need to remove them both to get easy access to the adjuster.

I tend to only remove one side - depends how good/bad your rachet 13mm spanner is.

Hi
   No you don't need to take heatsheilds off, just need several extension bars and feed through from the rear propshaft bearing to the front, dead easy and alot quicker  :y

We tend to recommend loosening the cable, then doing the adjustments on the shoes, then readjust the cable. This ensures everything is correct :)
