handbrake cable

handbrake cable has just snaped on my ph1 172, how hard is this to change?? any help would be great.cheers

there's one on each side, about £35 each from memory, takes about an hour or 2 to change, i've done loads on 172's (phs1 especially)

had mine done about 3 weeks ago at Rentech, not a massive job but fiddly to attach new and iirc you have to remove the cover/shroud under the car, was tad fiddly round the caliper area too..

 

[Fred@BTM]

thats because mike has big hands

 

[172 Dave]

doesnt use his hands just the 5lb air cooled convincer on my car Fred!

 

[Fred@BTM]
