Gaz's GlanzaV Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I`m in need of doing this too, recently just fitted new discs and pads all round, but before i got them done, the handbrake was a bit shit, and only worked ok on one side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_SV Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 when i changed my cables i removed my heatshield, easy job tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_SV Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 you probably can but when the last owner of my car fitted the exhaust he rivited the shield back in place, and it wouldn't move! so it had to come off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
