- @J.E.E.J.27.11.2025 13:51Memberhonestly i found it tricky too... best trick is use needle nose pliers to hold the cable end while pushing the lever arm toward it. Once you got enough tension release you can slip it right in
- @🤙 mark 🤙27.11.2025 15:14Member@Mermeleac check if your cable routing is correct first before mounting, saved me headaches when mine kept popping out cause it wasnt seated properly in the body clips
- @R.T. ⭐️27.11.2025 16:01MemberI always adjust the shoes BEFORE connecting cables, makes life so much easier. Then when you hook up the handbrake cable to the lever theres less fighting with spring tension
- @LukeOnTesla27.11.2025 16:16Member@J.E.E.J. +1 on that method, also spray some WD40 on the pivot points beforehand so everything moves smoothly when ur trying to line things up
- @stephen 🍏27.11.2025 16:33Memberhad a mate who tried doing this without loosening the adjuster nut first... spent like 2 hours cursing lol. Make sure theres slack in the system or youll never get it hooked in properly
- @PaulRoberts4227.11.2025 17:10Member@🤙 mark 🤙 yeah those body clips are sneaky, mine werent clicking in all the way and cable kept binding up during actuation
- @R.T. ⭐️27.11.2025 17:20Member@stephen 🍏 haha yeah ive been there, trying to force it with no slack is a nightmare. Sometimes you gotta back off that adjuster like 3-4 turns to get proper clearance
