How to Dismantle the Handbrake on the Nissan Qashqai?

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Parking brake

To dismantle the handbrake on the Nissan Qashqai, first remove the central tunnel panel by unscrewing any securing screws and completely removing it. Once the tunnel is removed, you can take off the rear panel of the central tunnel to access the cables at the bottom of the handbrake. These cables need to be removed and replaced with new spare parts, as well as the appropriate parts inside the wheel hubs. When all parts have been removed, restore the handbrake function by installing the new components.
