Renault Megane II handbrake / parking brake cable replacement.
Here is a link to video where I am showing how to remove parking brake housing • Renault Megane 2 handb...
On this video I am showing how to disable the parking brake, how to remove handbrake cable, install a new one and how to adjust it.
Speaking more about adjusting, make sure you dont over tighten your handbrake adjusting nut, it should be around 2,1 cm, if you have black bracket as I did, if you want to check if you have done it right, just drive around and dont use parking brake at all..when you stop just feel by your hand if rear wheels aren't hot, if they are nice and cool and you can park safely your car, surely you have tightened enough your parking brake adjustment nut.
Any way the work is rather easy and does not take too much of knowledge nor you will need special tools, just a few really common tools.

    I adjusted them manually. On the back of the caliper, there is a moving metal piece ( where the cable is connected to the caliper) and when the caliper piston is fully retracted, that metal piece hits a stopper. So just tighten handbrake nut and check the position of that metal piece, be sure it still sits on the stopper, you can tighten it until metal piece starts to move, after it starts to move, undo the handbrake nut just a little bit to hit the stopper again. And done you're good to go.

    I agree that there are different solutions how to fix handbrake, this video is more about how to replace handbrake cables, I agree that for most cases it is not needed to replace the cables unles they have snapped, in my case they also werent in too bad condition..but I learnt a lot by replacing them any way :) and I must admit that in most cases if you have some problems with renault handbrake it is not always cable it self, better start by checking if your brake calipers arent worn out and stuck in half position :)

    You probably had some rust issues? To be honest I replaced cables but in the end the faulty was brake support, when I replaced it both cables got even.. but any way I never had replaced mine cables so probably not bad as well, that I did it.
