Can anyone describe or better still show me how/where to separate the handbrake cable from the hub?

TIA

I've just replied to your other thread. I didn't see your post last night as I had been at the pub!

Just put my recon uprights on so nice and fresh from this!
Take the brake drums off, remove the springs and then the shoes, you will see the mech at the top, it hooks the cable, the springs and shoes tensioning it hold the hook in place.
When refitting make sure the shoes pivot from the top against the backplate, not against cable tension,
and adjust from the wheel at the bottom.
I actually have a handbrake that works now! smile
