#1: Removing handbrake cables from rear caliper. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:55 pm ---- Does anybody know how the handbrake cables are removed from the rear brake calipers?
I've disconnected mine from the lever, pulled them through from inside the car but they are stuck in the caliper. Where the cable slots in the caliper there seems to be a little sleeve on the outer cable. Has anybody managed to remove it? Otherwise how do the cables come out? I don't want to damage them as they are getting refitted.

I soaked them in maintenance spray and hour later came out easy

It will also help shift the torsion bars which are a little tight despite being covered in copper grease but they've been in there over 7 years.

I think there fitted like cable ties, so once there off there useless, can you get replacments of these parts? Mine are just cable tied on, but it does the job, I know you'll like your car to be OEM!
