![]() ![]() I’ve sprayed the cable with some WD-40 to ensure the damp stays away from the cable and the ends. With this carabineer end re fitting is so easy simply hoot the carabineer through the hole on the bracket and close the split ring to lock it all in place. I simply wiggle it through to get to the bracket. Its big enough to push the replacement cable through with the carabineer attached. Mine for example goes through a retaining slot at the front of the hitch. In my case I opened the end just enough that I was able to pull the cable off the bracket by levering it with a screwdriver.Īt this point it’s a good idea to see where your current cable goes. Be careful not to bed the bracket with excessive force. Using chunky pliers open the end of the existing cable to remove the hook. The replacement I am using is about 5cms shorter – but this will be fine for me as we hook the cable around the swan neck of the tow bar (we have no where else to hook it onto. Make sure your replacement is the same length as the cable that you are taking off. Since we are playing around with the handbrake bracket I also have place chocks around the wheels and raised the front of the caravan to make access easier. When working under a caravan it’s a good idea to keep the handbrake on and the corner steadies down. This is how I fitted it onto the caravan. The idea of having a breakaway cable that can be attached to the caravan without the need for tools is a perfect solution for carrying around in the caravan as a spare. Initially I went for the ring type but when I saw the simplicity of the carabineer type – I ordered one to see if it would fit. There are other types specific for iFor Williams trailers but I wont be covering these in this article. This is perfect when you have limited tools or no tools at all. The attachment is made by a carabineer that closed over the bracket, and a split ring locks the carabineer in place. This is a very straightforward fitting and quite possibly the neatest way to replace the cable. ![]()
