Yes it sounds like the cable but
Re the adjustment
Make sure the handbrake mechanism lever is fully retracted (ie /hence slack cable)when adjusting the star wheel.and also ensure they both have a pull back spring on them or they will never run free properly.
In a perfect world you would slacken cable off,adjust each wheel then re adjust cable..
Pretty much the same as adjusting any if not all handbrakes.make sure all adjustments are done to mechanism first then take up cable

Unfold the bracket and refold around the new cable supports ;)

Started to get everything ready for the cable change today. I found a guide in the maintenance section.

I got sent a Pagid (84167) cable from ECP (108720198).

I read in the guide that the cables on both sides are slightly different in length. How different is the length suppose to be?

Just laid the new cable out on the floor to mark the longest side but I found both sides of the new cable to be exactly the same length.

Just for future reference Al. Are the the original VX cables different lengths or the same lengths for both sides from new?
