I'm currently doing rear wheel bearing and trailing arm bushes so I've removed everything and the only thing stopping me is the handbrake cable. It won't feed thiugh the arm. Is there something that holds it in? This causing me a nightmare

Couldn't fault these guys when I used them, quality was there and tracked DPD (less than £10):

Its fine, probably could have done with new ones anyway.

Anyone know where stock new rear hubs or is it a dealer job. Just thinking may aswell put fresh ones on whilst I'm doing everything else
