Thank you-well filmed and clear. Am doing much the same on a 2008 Vito and they are almost identical, except for the pad fixings. I have one side of the hand brake jammed on and do not expect that will go as smoothly as your video...

Hi, thank you, well done. There is a snap fastener that you did not show. I think it goes between the shackle and the spring. Can someone point me to how to install it? Thanks

Advice to everybody, just buy a new set of springs and the thing, idk what it’s called, it will be much easier to change it next time
