Handbrake Cable

[wo88les]

Failed MOT today after everything was going so well, the Handbrake Cable is too worn, i need some advice / guidance on finding the correct cable and replacing it,

from the ratchet to middle is ok, its where it splits to the rear wheels is where i need

so 1xL and 1xR Handbrake Cable

sites are really confusing, as far as im aware i have a 1.0 12v and im almost sure its a MKII (mk1 is shown as 1.0i 12v)

problem is i can only find this set
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CORS ... 19d5b2408f

which says its not compatible with mine,



please help

Go to a motorfactors and give them your car reg and tell them what you need

[wo88les]

http://www.europarts-motorfactors.com/C ... Parts.aspx thats what i got, none of them say Handbrake cable, which ones do you reckon are right???

im taking a guess at
FIRFKB2272
FIRFKB2273

Thanks mate

rear left, guy recommended to replace both as when one goes the other isnt far behind



did you fit yours yourself mate?? or should i just pay £30 at the garage?
Cheers

Might aswell do both of them. Yea I did fit them myself but im a mechanic. There not hard to fit if ur confident but £30 ain't bad to get them fitted.

yeah im fairly confident mate, im guessing if i jack the car up one side at a time i should be able to do it, going in blind is doing to be slightly tough, but im sure if i get the missus to play with the handbrake before in start undoing things ill be able to work out what i need to remove

on a quick note what tools will i need??? i obviously have a wheel brace, but would i need spanner or socket set??

Yea I did one side at a time mate. U need to take the drums off they are held on with a 24mm with a split pin throught it. When u do this back up dont do it tight just nip it up i would replace the split pin. U will need a 11mm spanner for the adjuster if u cant get it undone u might need a new one there only like £4 from vauxhall.
If u get stuck just give me a shout mate.
Where abouts are u to?
