Vivaro front and centre handbrake cables replacement.

When we changed Vinnies rear handbrake cables we noticed the the centre cable was fraying.
We decided to change the centre and front cables so the were all new. Here's how we did it.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

I've learnt loads from these videos. It's certainly given me more confidence to work on parts of my 2014 Sportive (called Van Diesel) myself 😅

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I'm glad they are of some help 👍. That's a great name 👌.

[@tettron]

Thank you dude, front one has snapped and this video has certainly provided confidence on doing it myself!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, good luck sorting it out 🤞.

My van went in for its mot yesterday and failed because tester guy snapped cable 😳 he couldn’t fix it for two weeks 😤 I need my van for work!
Watching your video saved the day! Thank you 🙏 i wouldn’t have attempted it if you hadn’t made that video!
I hope you realise how brilliant you are 😂

Just worth noting that later vivaro have a different and improved method of connecting the centre to the front section with a pin amd clamp arrangement. Also the centre section will vary from swb and lwb.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@jonnybigsalads3656]

I’m attempting my cable today, thanks for that comment as I was sure the parts guy had given me the wrong cable 😊
Hopefully it’ll be straight forward!

Great instruction as always. Thanks Larcs.

[@rexthewarhorse7110]

I made a sidepipe exhaust on mine. That made it a lot easier when I needed to change the cable 😊

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Good work 👌

[@rexthewarhorse7110]

@@LarcsWorkshop well you did a better job because you had it much harder. I could lift mine all the way and there was no exhaust in the way 😊

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Sorry, I can't remember 🙄.

[@scottiemellotie]

​@@LarcsWorkshopyeah I bought both those parts you showed from euro car parts and neither include that coupling you had. I can't see it for sale on eurocarparts website so if anyone has a link I'd be grateful.

[@frednetherlands887]

Nice!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks Fred 👍

[@martinholsten9446]

Hi there. How easy is it to replace the dust shields on the rear discs? Mine have rusted and need replacing?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Not sure really, but I expect you'll have to take the caliper, disc and hub off to get to it. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍

[@waynegavin142]
