hi all,
I put my hand brake on yeaterday and it started to go on but I pulled a little harder and it just gave way on me! I am guessing it is the hand brake cable! because the hand brake does not work at all!
I was wondering if any could tell me if it is straight forward in replacing it? and how to do it? and or if you think it might be anything else!

cheers all david

it will be your one of your rear hand brake cables, as one is long and one is short and they join togeather on the axle then go to the handbrake leaver, you have to take the brake drum off to replace the cable.
