2006 2.8Crd Handbrake Cable - Well More So The Clock Spring

[hundred]

Hi I have read all the topics on this subject and have an issue.

 

Couple of months ago I did all brakes on car, front and rear including new shoes and fitting kit for hand brake, anyway I snapped the front handbrake cable when testing (foolishly).

 

I have now fitted a new cable but can't get it to take, looking at it I think my clock spring has come unsprung, can anyone advise if this is the case and if so what do I do to sort?

 

Will try to put pictur3 on of my assembly

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, if is not broken...there is a kit to rewind it...I tried once by hand and after half an hour I gave up.

...unless someone else has another way to do it and he/they can share it would be helpful.

 

Hope it helps.

Managed to get 2 turns on it, seems to be operating better, hand brake is still useless though, new discs, pads, shoes, cable and all adjusted and I can still push it when up as far as I can get the lever. MOT due on Monday as well, oh the joys
