GooglyBear Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 My mechanic has just done a bunch of repairs to my 2003 C5 2.0 Hdi, but ran into trouble trying to replace the handbrake cables.He tells me that there is some sort of sleeve where the cable has to be fed through under the car, but he simply cannot free the old one to feed the new one in.Anyone had a similar problem? He says he's tried everything he can think of, but it just won't budge... TIA Quote
paul.h Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 All it says in the Haynes manual is to remove the centre console, slacken the adjusting nut and disengage the cable end fittings from the handbrake equaliser plate, disengage the cables from the calipers and then pull the cables from the cable guides.

GooglyBear Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Many thanks Paul... i've just learned that he's now broke it trying to free the cable... is that a Citroen only part? (the sleeve) Quote
