faulty handbrake

Post by (AUST)Mod »

hey guys in my fb the handbrake does not function. this car is going over the pits soon so i need to fix it quick. the problem is that the cable moves freely, but the handle is too hard to pull out/ only moves a few cms/knackered. any idea's? i know you guys will know the answer :D

Have you tried removing the mechanism from under the dash and pulling it to bits ? If the cables are moving freely and its hard to apply then its gotta be the mech.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
