Thanks so much for watching everyone! The process may be a little different on each car, but the mindset is the same.
I also found an issue with the caliper on the right rear. I touched on it for a second in the video. I will show you guys exactly what is wrong, once I dive into that issue.

Use a small socket and extention for the devil clips lol works like a dream. Ps i got my volt gauge and 42 draft and design gauge holder installed looks so nice! Thanks again
Watching this all I can think is why doesn't my mk4 have such a legit console?! My fuel door release is in a similar spot but it sits out in the open (with no actual console for storage) I can't help but feel like having it hidden under a lid like that would be so much better

My cable won't come out is it safe to heat it up abit to release the cable
What's the meaning of drag
It is rare that I find a video that explains a process so clearly that I feel like I could go out and do the work after watching just once. You have the gift of explaining details clearly with excellent filming. Every component was easy to see and understand. I have liked and subscribed your channel because I want to see more.
Truely humble mechanic is a natural born teacher, easy to follow, nice voice, no cheap music.
You covered this topic so clear, that we should be charged a installation fee lol.. Good job 🤙🏽
I don't think you understand just how great you made it. It was simple, and concise, no gimmicks.
Video was clear. You gave options that were practical. This is an example of a mechanic you can trust with your car
I do not typically comment or like much, just due to my antisocial nature. However, this video was SO WELL DONE, I just had to drop a like, comment, and subscribe. I absolutely love how in depth you get without overwhelming us with information or throwing in useless BS. I’m also very happy with the flow of the video, how you take the time to explain each step in depth enough for me to literally be able to visualize how I am going to do it once i get home, without even having the car in front of me. Thank you for such a great video, and keep up the excellent work, man!
Thank you so much. 💙
Well that antisocial nature is very much neutralized when you make sentences with "I absolutely love ..."!
You see a beard like that on a mechanic, you know you're in good hands :) Great video!
the best how to auto video I've ever seen. Brief, to the point, and no time wasted slowly tuning bolts or letting me know what you had for breakfast for the last week or other non related info. Great job. tx Gary
Thanks Charles. That was really well done. Good lighting, camera angles and editing. You made it look simple.
Thank you so much
This video was super helpful! Just paid the family's favorite mechanic to replace the e-brake; I assumed he tested it....nope. He didn't even touch it. lol oh well, live, learn & fix it yourself.
This is amazing brother. Always scared myself out of the idea of replacing a brake cable. Thanks so much for doing this video.
This is a classy video. Absolutely no BS - just clear, concise tuition. Gotta love The Humble Mechanic.
Thank you
well-thought-out, detailed instructions and great camera work! Thank you so much
Great video at school they never taught me how to adjust or replace the cable 😀😀 thanks
Just did this on my MKIV. Was easy, thanks for all you do for us VW guys!
Was it a stick? & What does Mk stand for? I'm assuming the V is RN for 5.
Beautiful. Very concise yet you cover all the important points!
Very useful video. You speak very clearly and get straight to the point.
Thank you
You look like Aaron Kaufman from Fast n Loud! Great video, very helpful.
Awesome walkthrough and information. Great job😁
Soooo much easier than I thought it would be! Hopefully it'll go smooth when I do my ebrake on my 06 Tiburon!
I have'nt seen you in a while sir, i watched you some time back, and was able to fix someone's dragging truck door watching you, Now i'll fix my e brakes on a truck watching you, you're real good sir, at what you be doing.
Wow! Never thought it would be so easy! Thanks!
No prob! It's super easy. :)
Great video man, one of the best I've seen... Keep up the good work!

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos but I'm about to adjust the handbrake on my wife's RAV4 and was looking for tips. Great really great video - very clear instructions & pictures. You've just got another subscriber !!!!
AWESOME and thank you!
Thank you so much. I have a 2002 chevy trailblazer that I've been working on. I'm a female that happens to like saving money and learning. The parking breaks and lines are my next project and I appreciate the video .
My friend you have a most excellent presentation, flawless procedure accompanied by very well lit camera positioning. The best part is is your clear evenly modulated voice, and accurate and detailed instructions.

Well made video, good explanation on what to do and showing where everything is located.
Thank you, very helpful!
Well explained and demonstrated.. Great camera work too. Due to arthritis and limited strength and mobility you’ve made my mind up~ I’ll get the mechanics to do it. 👍🏻
Very clear and concise. Thankyou for your lesson.
Yet another project that I have coming up and yet another HM video that I'll be referencing! Keep up the great work Charles!

Better explanation then Chris Fix. Really serious though, great video with lighted scenes. You helped my coming job immensely.
Awesome video, Charles! Keep doing repair videos like this one!
Thanks!
Awesome video!! Very simple but professional. Good quality video that was clear, and easy to follow along. Very informative! Perfect timing that I came across this video. My E-brake is going all the way up and barely doing its job. Wasn’t sure what to do about it now I am... I’m going to replace it myself!! Thanks again brother for an awesome video.
BTW... I smashed the like button and subscribed 👍🏼
Thank you

This is an A1 video that helped me out tremendously! Thank you so much good sir!
Great video, well explained!
Thanks Charles, you are very thorough and detailed... you are the best!
Thak you!!!
Absolute superb job on the video, the work & the explanation. U r truly gifted my man. Keep up the great work brotha. Peace.
After replacing a heater core on my Volvo 940 the interior was never quite the same. So I pretty much gutted it (weight reduction bro).
After dealing with a finicky window regulator I left the door panel off for easy access (more weight reduction bro).
Then the parking brake became an issue. What to do? Take it out was the obvious answer. Took out the center console and threw it away. Took out the lever and threw it away. WEIGHT REDUCTION BRO! Tucked the cable under the carpet.
And now I finally have a place to put my cup of coffee.
All that being said... if I ever need to adjust/replace my cable on my 240 or 740 I'm coming here first.
Thanks Charles! Luv ya!
It's easier than I thought. Thank you.👍
well done mate, I like how you get to the point and show everything, Keep it up.
Thank you
Thank you so, so very much! My parking break just broke- one service station said OH NO! so you cannot drive it🙉😳- obviously, not going there. Other place tried to sell me break pads🤣🤣🤣.
Am a practical and handy chick...figured it's gest to get some knowledge b4 talking to another Service-dude😈.
Never thought about parking break cable might need adjusting...next time around am better informed🎊🎊
You did awesome man,this helpfull to me,now i can do it to mine,thank you so much.
Very detailed and informative show how. Mine is next generation E39 with different arrangement by the handle (difficult to adjust). Thank you!
Finally know how to do it properly on my disc converted Seat Arosa seen as it uses the exact same style!
Cheers humble mechanic good video
Awesome vid man👍

I don’t think I’ve seen an easier parking brake replacement! On some cars you have to drop the exhaust,driveshaft etc. Thanks! 👍

Nic informative and very easy teaching
Great video, thanks for posting! Are those cable the same on MK2's?
Super explanation
Okay have a question an need help .
I Have a 98 vw jetta an the rear e-brake cable I replaced that was causing the driver side cailper to stick , the new cable at the part inside the car where u make the adjustment at the cable doesn't seem to be long enough to do how u show in the vid of how to do it . Like I havw to have the nut barley on the threads an the brake handle fully released to do the adjustment if I did what you showed I would not be able to even adjusted at all if that makes sense .
Would u know what's going on or what I could be doing wrong your the only guy I know that does nothing much vw stuff
Very nice this video
pretty good instructions. very well done
Thanks
I always spray a load of Silicon grease up the running no tube into the vehicle also. Also pays to spray some silicon spray into the brake cable also.
Thank you buddy
