Handbrake cable
The passenger side hadbrake cable on my Million has been damaged by the exhaust, I have bought another and was wondering if it is a job I could do myself. I ask as I have no pit only some ramps but was a little dubious of using these having I assume to leave the handbrake off when fitting. Is it an easy job or better left to a mechanic, any advice on how to fit would be most welcome, many thanks Stephen.
Re: Handbrake cable
Support the car on axle stands at the rear and chock the front wheels with bricks and you will be OK

It's a VERY easy job - just put the one rear wheel up on the ramp - on level ground - and chock the other wheels carefully. Be sure to grease the new cable well - and route it away from the exhaust!

Re: Handbrake cable
Also grease the end of the inner cable where it joins on to the wheel cylinder as it tends to rust and fray at the end.
