Watched this to see how to access the adjuster. many thanks! My preferred method of adjustment is back the back wheels off the deck, handbrake off and adjust till the the wheels start to bind a bit, then wind off a bit till they're free.

All done. Nice easy job. I used a 1/4 10mm deep socket to adjust but I can see the benefit of ratchet ring spanner so I'll have to get a set. cheers for the video.

Good instructions

Great video. now days some car adjust it back side of rear wheel. can you make a video of it

Will ware out the pads when too tight, gotta let a little room to movez

I'm presuming the car has a caliper type handbrake. Since the rear caliper brake auto-adjusts, adjust the nut in the off position to take up any slack?

Supposed to adjust it with the handbrake off dude.. good video tho. No wonder you’ve got all that slack on the cables

The amount of clicks depends what it states in the manual, mine for skoda fabia mk1 1.4 is 4 clicks, at the moment it's 6, defo needs adjusting...Good video but I think I'll jack car up and do what states in manual, check wheels first then the adjusting to handbrake

That much free play isn't good! It means there is an issue further back. Either a sticky auto-adjuster at the wheel end or the cables have stretched past the point of safe usage. Always check the wheel end first!!

Bhai thanks

Helpful video for the adjustment, but my interior is different. I have an 05 golf tdi. A lot of the interior has been swapped with unknown audi parts, but I thought the center console was stock.

Our consoles are different. I ended up removing the rear cup holder to get to the two torx screws. Remove them. Remove the arm rest with a 13mm socket. Pry the caps off the torx screws at the front of the two piece console and remove. Then the console can come up for access to the cables.

Boys just take the little cup holder thing he took of in the second part stick some vice grips down there and twist away

Is this the same way to also loosen it? My handbrake is stuck down but acting as if the handbrake is on so the car won’t move...

It sounds like the handbrake has seized at the brake end. Has the car been sitting unused for a long time ?

Great video. I have a bit of a problem. The left side of the cable has pulled in more than the right side, so it's uneven. Is there any way to rectify this?

@screwsnutsandbolts

Жыл бұрын

Thanks, that's what the equalizer bar is for, so it still pulls each cable with the same force even if one cable is slightly longer than the other. However, if the cable lengths are very different, the cables could over-stretched and it may be time to renew them.

@0rrin

Жыл бұрын

@screwsnutsandbolts I think the cable might be overstretched as this is what led the other end to detach completely, hence losing the handbrake altogether.
