I think I completely remover the lift up lid/cover and tray, then the lower panel which is held in place with push in plastic pins and possibly a couple of Posidrive screws down the bottom. Sorry I can't be more help Will, it was a few years ago now and the old grey matter isn't what it used to be. Once you have a look and see it, it's fairly straight forward and simple enough to do, just don't drop the plastic clips as they are a nightmare to find again....That much I do remember |

Well I've replaced the cable with no skin lost! I still need to refit the hub and connect it at that end but I think and hope that will be much easier than the interior but!

When I replaced my brake shoes, found it a little bit fiddly to keep the cable attached to the pull pivot thing, had to watch closely when putting the disc back on, so it didn't come off.

I had the same issue with the cable locating into the slider. Once the shoes are on & held in place with the pins then it's ok.

Finally i do it without pin, using a piece of wood to maintain the cable connector out of main cable pressure,

Hey. Ive got an issue with my handbrake cable on my L322. I've adjusted the handbrake pads right up and backed off 3 - 4 notches, recommended is 8, I know.. but still have a slack handle.. only engages high up in the travel. The drivers side rear wheel rattles too whenever I hit a bump in the road. I think its the end of the handbrake cable flapping around against the internal handbrake lever mechanism.. I say this cos when I reef up the handle while driving the rattling stops. I suspect a stretched cable. I keep getting told its auto adjusting and doesn't need any adjustment except for the normal " flat blade screwdriver in the 6 o'clock hole". So I'm at a bit of a loss. Handbrake cable? or something else?

Ok, I've since lifted the rear of the console with the handle down, to reveal the cable linkage and found that the whole thing is tilted probably as far as it can go. 1 side is tightish but not actually activating the brake.. and the other side, drivers side, is so loose that when I push the tilt mech down with my finger to level it out, I can grab the ball end of the cable and pull it up about 40mm above the mech itself.. So there's def something wrong here. My first thought was that the ball had slipped up the cable, but on comparison with the other side, looks ok. I'll have to recheck the fitment of the other end in the handbrake drum, may have stuffed that up. |
