Have you got a method for replacing the cable? have a look at the rear axle and you should see the cable running at the back of it, tieing into the two drums, inside the drums it simply hooks on to the lever. if you remove the centre consol inside the cab the other end will be easy to access.

edit: just noticed you've a different model to me so it's maybe not the same!

edit again: some info on handbrakes in the answer to this post i made: http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...ad.php?t=57899

Cheers for the reply, a pre MOT showed i needed new cables so ordered them to fit myself, i havent even been under to have a look yet.
You make it sound easy, are they on clevis joints at the back of the drums or do i need to take off the drum?

i cant really remember now, the cable on mine comes down and connects to the near side behind the axle and then a second cable connects to levers on the back of the drums so yeah can probably be done without taking the drums off. should be relatively easy, you'll probably just need your larger set of swear words and a few cups of tea!!
