S2 with rear discs with a handbrake cable from a V8S.

How does one access the cable adjuster in the tunnel without sending in a ferret or breaking an arm in two places?

From memory, it's a piece of cake if you drop/remove the exhaust.

Could be wrong here but don't you take the tray out in the dash where you put your glasses and bits and bobs in.

Not removable on mine?


But as the back end of mine is up on stands at the moment (changed CV joints this morning) I thought I'd have a go.....

So, lying under car, feet out the back, left arm goes up between o/s trailing arm and chassis, past the fixed side of the handbrake and I can just reach the adjuster. If it's tight or siezed you'll need to find another way to get both hands on it.

Enjoy!!!!
