howard.mills Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Does anyone know how difficult it is to changeout a Mondeo hand break , mine has stopped holding the car , I am convinced it's the ratchet on the leaver not the pads or adjustment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 exhaust needs dropping down , heat shield off, unclip the n/s and o/s cables. remove 3 nuts .then from inside remove centre console to access handbrake ,disconnect handbrake switch , then remove handbrake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've done my mk3 cables without dropping the exhaust, just bent the heat shield out the way enough to get in and used a ratchet spanner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Haha yes I guessed that. Haven't been unlucky enough to come across the old auto adjuster type but I've heard all about them. i think that middle heatshield is now missing on my car. Next handbrake adjustment or cables will be easier lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard.mills Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 So I guess it's the bend ratchet method that's the easer out of the two don't want to drop the exhaust as I may never get it back the way it should be !!! :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard.mills Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 How difficult is it to get the Center console out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard.mills Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 If I get a second hand one from eBay how do I know if it's the manual adjust type or the auto adjust type ? Is there a part number I should look forSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
