Fellow Dubbers,

Just want some help on how to remove my old hand brake cables, and run and connect my new ones.

Any help, ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Denver.

Biggest issue is the rear axle nuts, they are meant to be VERY tight 250ft/lb.
One thing to remember is to lube inside the flexible cable bowden sleeve when fitting
