I have just changed the two handbrake cables on the back of a 1995 Fiat Punto and couldn't not have done this using the instructions in the Hayes manual. I seriously doubt if anybody can remove these cables from older vechicles, by only accessing the end of the cable that connects to the brake shoe, through the access bung on the back of the brake drum assembly. I had to remove the brake drum and remove the brake shoes. I then cut through the old cable and had to use a heafty thump to remove the cable grommets from the back of each brake drum. The other end of the cable is accessed from under the handbrake shroud. You remove both the left and right cable nipples from the beam attached to the back of the handbrake lever. The cables can then be removed from under the car but ONLY after you have removed the two litle "C" washers that fit into the grove on the cable grommet. Fiddly job but it can be done. My only problem now if getting the handbrake adjusted as I think the spring loaded mechanism on the back of the brake shoes has not "self adjusted" out so the calbe movement is not sufficient to activate the brake shoe sufficiwently enough to apply the brakes. That's the next job for this week end!!! I have never seen this Fiat forum before but have done quite a few MOT enforced jobs on my daughter's car. Will keep looking. Good luck
