[matt_vaughan]

I know it's a little amaeturish but I've never actually done one yet....

Mine snapped today, so how long you lot rekon it'll take me to change it tomorow?

Could do with knowing so I can try fit it in before college.

30 mins max drums off and away you go. seen as it your first id allow an hour and do it after college

[matt_vaughan]

arent there a few parts to the cable, sorry for ignorance on this, never looked at them on novas.

I think it's the main one fromt the handle to the splitter that's gone.

Ive got to do this aswell, seriously 30-60mins?

make sure you keep the wheel bearings clean when you take the drums off, or they will knacker up in a short while.

The adjuster (thread on the end of the short cable) tends to seize within about 5 mins of being fitted so will need lots of wd40 and maybe a little heat to get it moving again. Other than that fairly simple job.

theres 2 parts a short cable and a long one - they link at the centre yolk over the rear axle. Took me a couple of shours due to the join being seized to feck plus I was working on a Nova half mounted on a high curb and it decided to pish it down mid way through sending a torrent of water down the drain which happened tobe right under my car!

Make sure you replace the split pins on the drums with new ones (Obviously).
