You don't have to remove the centre console to reconnect the hand brake cables. Instead: 1) Only remove the ash tray at the back of the console 2) Reach into the tunnel and connect the left cable to the balancer hook 3) Use a piece of wire or a rope and loop it around the right hook so you can apply a backwards pulling force. 4) Use a 4mm flat blade fist screwdriver and whilst pulling the rope carefully push it into the slit between the hooks (tilt the screwdriver slightly forward). This disengages the hooks and makes them want to snap forward (internally spring loaded), but the rope will pull the right hook backwards (use as much force as you can). 5) Release the screwdriver; this will fix the hooks in place; remove the rope. 6) Now, as the right hook is pulled all the way backwards, you can attach the right cable. 7) Use the small screwdriver again to make the hooks snap forward. This will pre-tension the cables. From here on, apply the usual handbrake cable adjustment procedure. It sounds more complicated than it is, once you get your head around the mechanics of it 🙂

I feel like this happens a lot. They should've made a quick access point. Thanks for the video very helpful.
Thanks for the video, but please turn down the music as it can be very hard to hear what you're saying.
Yeah. I'm getting better at making videos that was almost a year ago.
Thank you very mate. Been searching for days..
