I need to remove the handbrake cable on my '88 transit 100, but it's a bit of a pain because I need to remove the hub to get at it.
Looking at the manual, I need a special socket (about 55mm diameter with 4 'prongs' - sort of like a castle nut). Can't see anywhere that sells them so..
Q1 - anyone know where I can get one?
The manual then says that I might need another special tool to withdraw the hub once I've undone the nut.
Q2 - what does this special tool actually do - why can't I just pull the hub off?
Q3 - Is this a pain in the arse job that I shouldn't really be trying at home (I know the torque settings are incredibly high)?
Q4 - Is there another way to get the handbrake cable off without needing to remove the hub?
Cheers for any help
Mike
