I would appreciate any tips that anyone has regarding replacing my TR3B handbrake cable. Upon examining the car today and looking in my manual it looks like you remove the existing cable by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin at the rear of the assembly, release the spring securing the cable to the gearbox tunnel, remove the 2 bolts from the 2 cable securing brackets, and then turn the threaded end in front to remove it from the handbrake.
However, when you install the replacement cable does it make any difference which end you start at? It seems like it might be easier to start by turning the threaded end into the handbrake assembly and work your way back. Also, how do you get the replacement cable and sheath to fit through the small opening of the rear bracket? Are you supposed to pry the bracket open a bit? Thank you.
