Lennym1984 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 When redoing my rear suspension, I had to disconnect the handbrake in order to drop the uprights down and get the shocks off. I've fed the cable back in but I can't get the ends to poke through into the cubby hole bit (they appear to be getting caught on something in there). Does anybody have any tips to feed them back through without having to take the entire centre console off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think taking tbe centre console off is a PITA which why it's an expensive job to replace the cables. If there were an easier way...... Sorry. Maybe someone knows better than me. That's what usually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've forgotten, I'd push some garden wire (the green covered steel stuff) through from inside the car. Gaffer tape the handbrake cable to it, and pull through. But a guess, as I've not done it.

Thanks but the cable is already inside the car it is just snagging on something beneath the centre console (and hence I can't get at them). I think I'll just persevere and keep pushing/pulling until I can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
