Hand brake cable lever was created by Iaitoo
Hello :)

How is the cable connected to the lever?
Replacing the cables, so I need to get them loose. My neck is killing me, and I can't fiddle to much with it before the pain is to hard to bare.
Tried looking at it, and didn't see any obvious way to get them off, bit rusty and dirty up under there :P

I've never removed them but I'm fairly sure your answer lies beneath the plastic trim inside the car.

Exactly. There's an M8 or M10 nut you can see from above the brake lever, used to tighten the slack out of the cables. Just undo it.

Poor language, sorry! Where the lever cable and the hand brake cables meet. In the bracket thingy.

Is it a push and twist or does the bracket have to be opened somehow?

Loosen the two bolts you see to the right in the photo, you can see them from inside the car

Tar jeg ikke av hele dingsen da? Jeg vil kun ha ut de to vaierne til brekket. pga jeg har nye. Resten av mekanismen vil jeg ikke tulle med :) Kun vaierne fra trommel og frem. Bildet er fra feil bil tror jeg. Mener det er en vitara.

Translated to save you all the bother ;)
Do I not take the whole thing? I just want the two wires to the break. Because I have new ones. The rest of the mechanism I will not be joking with only wires from the drum and forward. The picture is from the wrong car I think. Think it's a vitara.

Slacken the cable tension off. Pull the outer cables back and down, out of the bracket. Turn the inner cable 90 degrees and slide the end downwards out of the bracket.

Thanks. It was the pull back and down part I was wondering about :) They were rusted stuck... But everything is removed now :)
