How to replace the handbrake cable of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 1, MK 1 - Years 1974-1983
Part: Parking brake

In these brief steps, we will see the institutions that will allow us to dismantle and replace the handbrake cable of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we get on board the car and start dismantling the handbrake lever cover, thus accessing the cable; then we disconnect the cable by unscrewing the adjustment screw, as shown in the video. At this point, we raise the car and proceed to dismantle the brake drum, disconnecting the wiring from the braking system; we install and pass the new handbrake cable, finally checking the wear of the rear brake shoes, reassembling everything!
