stevegtuk Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 could one of the cables have snapped inside its sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbglasgow Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 it may have then, really cant be bothered doing that today now, its sound like a right carry on to check/replace the entire cable from internet search.... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 yeah replacing will probably a damn site easier to do. Was the handbrake working ok before you fiddled with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handbrake cables are easy to change on the focus though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
