Same here, best money ever spent, three clicks on the pedal holds car and caravan on a gradient!

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post such a detailed list of instructions. The photos are really helpful and will be of great use to other members here. Great job.

Sorry to reply to a 7 year old post, but there's one step missing.

It should read you will drop your clip, possibly multiple times, don't ask how I know. Before you start wedge a rag under the cable to catch it.

A great guide, thanks.

Hi Guys

I did this adjustment this weekend, you can forget about the clip and just grab the telescopic end with a vice-grip and use another wrench (I used a waterpump pliers) to spread the two apart. Keep the brake 2 clicks down before doing this. Literally less than 5 min job.
