Help with changing Mk4 Hilux h/brake cable


Recommended Posts

Bonjour!

 

Bit of a long shot, but has any body changed the above?

 

The problem I've got is with a clamp which holds the rear handbrake cable to the chassis about half way along the cable. This clamp is bolted to the inside face of the chassis with a 10mm bolt (into what I can onlyl assume is a captive nut on the inside of the chassis box section) just infront of the off side rear wheel.

 

It's near impossible to get a 12mm ring spanner, and totally impossible to get a socket on to the bugger as the fuel tank is only 50mm (ish) away from it. I could do without dropping the fuel tank to get at it to be honest.

 

Have any of you had any experience of this?:search: Is there any trick to getting this bolt out without uber spannering?

 

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Rob...
