  • If you use your hand brake cable every day, overtime, you may experience your cable will stretch. You may have to adjust the lever and tighten it to compensate for that, but what happens when you can’t do that anymore? What about if your cables are seized? What happens if they are rusting out and sticking? Well what you are stuck with doing is replacing the entire cable itself. In this video, I remove my OEM cables that were looking quite rough, and replace them with new cables to fix my problem.

    For a moment I thought you were the first American ever to call it a hand brake and use it while parked. Then I heard you say the word 'out' and suddenly realise you're Canadian and you know exactly what the hand brake is for. I'm from Australia. Our driving lessons are very similar.

    Got a VW Mk4 2003 and I feel the engine vibration through the car body could it be the engine mounts because they ain't been replaced since new.

    During applying my car hand break it initially is loosely working and then grips some teeth producing a bumpy sound from rear hub some times works without any trouble but again in between gets loose during application I am quite disturbed and need ur help to get rid of this problem

  • @user-mh1el5uu6b
    @user-mh1el5uu6b Před 3 lety

    Just a question : you said the drivers side hand brake cable isn't doing anything and you need a new one to fit. I notice that you bought two cables, does that mean you need to fit two new brake cable not just the side not working let's say if the other one is still 50% life in it? Also regarding calipers do you need to change it in both side if only one is seized? I take it its like shock absorbers and tyres everything needs to be changed in pair just because one doesn't work? Boy my MOT repairs are gonna be alot 😅🤣🤣

    I have 2009 Honda Accord 2-door (the same as you show on this video clip). I had the same issue. I tried to adjust the e-brake in the center console, but it didn't work. I think my e-brake cables were stretched. When I look at the arms (where the e-brake cables are connected) at the rear calipers, they are not the same position. The left side arm position is open wider than the right side. It seem like 1 side was seized. Do I have to fix this issue before I replace the new cables? Or, Do I have to replace new rear calipers?

    I have the same car (2008) and I failed my inspection for the emergency brake not stopping the car. I was told that both rear caliper needed to be replaced because the emergency brake doesn't work. Does that make sense? I'm just really confused.

    • @milanmastracci
      @milanmastracci  Před 3 lety

      Hey Jayden, yes that does make sense. The rear calipers have the parking brake mechanism built into it for these cars. If the caliper's hand brake function is seized, they will need to be replaced/ fixed.

    Once you've earned enough money with your CZcams channel (around fifteen hundred US dollars) you might want to consider installing an electric auto hoist in your Dad's garage. You'll love it.

    How come whenever I do this, one of the cables is so rusted that you have to cut one or both anchor points off cable and end up with the original internal liner bonded inside the car under the floor with no access? These YT video's are always done on cars with the original parts are basically new and no grim or other real world scenario exist 😢.

    I'm not a fan of drive and steer by wire, BUT one of the best innovations in recent years are electronic hand brakes imo, no clunky lever in the cockpit and they don't seem to wear out, atleast not like those cables.

    • @hapkin2179
