Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the original one and on how then to install the new leather type handbrake? If so, can that person please provide them to me.Thanks inadvance.I got the leather one as a warranty job at the 3K 'service' as that's all they had. Handbrake assembly has come adrift. Same thing has happened again and hoped they could do a quick fix when I went to get the bonnet catch release that was boken fixed (another common fault - 2 hour job). All I know is that I was told and my $0 warranty receipt mentions handbrake assembly repair to be done next visit $0 - but requires drivers seat removal to do it - so Ford reckon its a time consuming job......probably not though.... They can't take my leather away though! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23547-hand-brake-replacement/#findComment-352999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcrown Donating Members 182 Member For: 19y 7m 30d Posted 26/04/10 07:01 AM Author Share Posted 26/04/10 07:01 AM Ok I finally got myself a full leather handbrake. I believe the handbrake lever is held on by 3 bolts. I think I need to remove the front seat to get to the handbrake lever bolts. Can someone please provide a step by step instructions to remove the front seat - pics will also be good!?Also, any info on removing the handbrake lever would also be good too!Thanks.
