Handbrake pretty shit?

You dont need to rent mate. Do you not have a car jack? Just jack it up and lie underneath.

Its jus a couple of 10mm bolts that hold the cable in position. Then you remove a heatshield from behind the exhaust and unclip it. Its a doddle bud.

I hadto undo my exhaust to move it but it wasnt a big deal. Took me an hour or something from start to finish.

Yes I have a jack and two axle stands. Should I jack it up from the side or from the rear for the easiest access?

[StuDoc 72]

You can jack it up on the rear axle then put the 2 axle stands under the jacking points on the sills at either side at the rear. That way you have even space underneath and no jack to get in your way.

My heat sheild was riveted on, so had to drill out the rivits to get it off! Was a pain even on a ramp on my car :/

[StuDoc 72]

Mine were riveted on too. Nothing a hammer, screwdriver and a bit of elbow grease cant take care of lol.

[JayJ]

Did you remount the heat shield some way?

[morgey]

Nope cba to, the tunnnel gets warm but nothing to bad

[StuDoc 72]

As morgey says. Either that or drill out the rivet from the bracket and use a screw. Me? I used a cable tie because im fucking mental lol.
