Excellent video dude, only suggestion would be to tie a guide line to the old cable as you pull it from the caliper, you can leave it hanging and then tie the new cable to it pull it through. Thanks for making this video saved me a trip to the mechanic!

Use some strong cord to tie off on the end inside the car and use it as a pull through, make it long enough to go right from the inside to the rear calliper and it'll be much easier having a pull through.

​@@TheParrottBros​: I have the same issue like you describe in your video. Today I replaced the handbrake cable with a new one to fix this, but the problem is still the same. The arm of the handbrake mechanism on the caliper does not go back to its initial position after using the handbrake. When I release the cable from the notch of the handbrake arm on the caliper, the arm goes back to its initial position very easily. However, the brake calipers, brake discs and brake pads are brand new so it can hardly be a problem there. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Sascha Adam that’s odd. Have you tried backing off the cable incase it’s too tight. If the new cable is freely moving that shouldn’t cause an issue. Very odd

@@TheParrottBros yes I tried to pull the cable back but the problem occurs again once I pull the handbrake. Unfortunately I didn't compare the new cable with the old one like you recommended in the video. Can it cause a problem if the new cable is a little bit longer than the old one?

Sascha Adam longer should give you the opposite to what you have now, just check everything is fitted correctly. Compare it to the other side if you can, something isn’t right. Unless you have a dodgy Caliper or something.

16:20 - Hello, i have observed the same thing in my car, i installed new handbrake cables and they are not equal at the adjust mechanism. It seems like left cable is tightened more than the right one, like in your scenario. Is that normal?

Hi there, first of you videos I have seen, (now subscribed of course), really thought the whole thing was exactly what is needed in such a video, no bells and whistles, just good advice and commentary. I have a question though if I may. I have a friend that has recently had the same job plus replace rear N/S calliper, change fluid (absolutely no air in system) and fitted new front pads. So here's the rub, the pedal travel is quite a bit more than previous although the pedal is solid and the car stops well. I think possibly the calliper hasn't adjusted up enough (creating pedal travel?). Does the hydraulic action set the pad to disc clearance or the action of the handbrake being operated? The restoration work looks great BTW I guess the rest of the car is in for the same treatment? Looking forward to more videos

Thank you for that appreciate the comment. This is quite a common one, I would get the pads bedded in first, as that can quite often make the pedal feel different. If not... usually depending on what Caliper it was you may need to use vcds to operate the ABS pump as they can get trapped up there. Was it pressure bled or gravity? It’s not an issue ive actually ever come across myself when working on my car. Plenty more content coming

@@TheParrottBros Thanks very much guys for your response. Re the ABS pump, I didn't do the job a reputable local specialist did but I think the guy will have opened the ABS valve, but it's worth checking. The bedding in may be the answer I guess, so we will see. Keep the videos coming, really enjoyed this one. Cheers

Stephen Rose Bedding is likely to be the most probable, some pads feel really different compare to others. Thank you plenty more where that came from

Alexander Goecke III the Caliper it’s self could of failed. If you get someone to sit in the car and operate the handbrake, can you see the cable itself moving at the caliper? Calipers handbrake mech can fail, Handbrake may need adjusting Cable could be seized in the sleeve. Thanks for watching
