Thank you. You saved me a lot of head scratching. Easy job.

Just did this about 20seconds ago,the other halve rolled her car into a brick wall was saying for ages her handbrake was slack now paying a fortune to get the back bumper sprayed new lamp etc this literally took me 15seconds to do thanks fella

Excellent. Saved me loads of grief. I put new cables in and this vid made me look as if I knew what I was doing😂😂

Great video. Ive suffered for years with a loose handbrake on my astra but it was at the point where no matter how far up I pulled it it didnt seems locked in place. Watched this, went to car, took 3 mins and its now perfect. Thanks.

I have a 13 reg astra j 1.4 and the mechanism inside is different. I don't have the release tab

My cable's is losse so will this work on my astra to solve this problem?

The one on the early Astra `J` that I am looking at is slightly different to this... I have found out there are couple of different adjusters on the Astra J. This is the one you can adjust but there is also one that you cannot.

Thanks for that mate. Just done mine, cheers.

Found this very useful...just had the unfortunate pleasure of replacing handbrake cables on one of these ..Google nightmare lol...trying to get adjustment off fo reconnect calipers was funishhhhjhh

Ive adjusted mine just slightly too far, but couldn't see a way to release it slightly. I'll try pushing on the tag and see i that works.

Best video by far

Thanks. I need to replace the handbrake cables on my astra j. Do I need to remove the centre console?

Hi Andy thanks for showing this. What it doesn’t clearly show (no criticism as I wouldn’t have clue) is as u push on yoke and real ease handbrake, should hear self adjuster ratcheting a few clicks thereby tightening which isn’t that clear on sound? However saved me and daughter a few Bob thanks for your efforts

Tried "pushing" the tag and it broke off... surely theres another way to slacken it off..
