- Tue Feb 07, 2012 6:53 pm #293721 hi can anybody tell me if the bracket on a civic eg's handbrake cable comes off ? because i need to thread the cable through the hole on the suspension arm ? tried everything to get it off but just cant

- Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:54 pm #293753 im guessing you mean the clip that is attatched to the ebrake handle that is held on by a 12mm? you take the 12mm all the way off and theres two 12mm near where the ebrake cable comes through the center and out then you should have enough play to rotate the cable to the side and unhookits kinda like the throttle body cable theres a slip way for the cable to pop through and for you to take it out

- Wed Feb 08, 2012 1:20 pm #293887 if your replacing the cables any ways, cut the cable on either side of the brackets. remove the brackets from the caliper then lock them down in a vice. Use a torch to heat them up pretty good and pound whats left of the old cable out. Or you can just order new brackets from honda.
