I have searched the forum and google, but couldn't find a definitive answer. I know there's endless posts about the dreaded EPB.
Can the EPB cables be replaced with the module still attached to the car? I guess it would be fiddly, but is it do-able? (I'm very capable, being an engineer)
I've had an occasional screeching for a while although the EPB does come on ok and releases on driving away. It's not jammed, but I have had the park brake fault message a couple of times.
I replaced the rear discs, pads and shoes last week (the shoe linkages were seized) after reading many posts on this, following the BBB and doing the recommended way of adjusting, but it's still the same and I couldn't complete the bedding in procedure.
I have a feeling the cables are jamming slightly (would this cause screeching?) as when doing the service mode to replace the shoes, the cable ends didn't seem to be out as far as I would have expected and the plastic securing nuts going onto the backplate look well seized. The backplate disc shields have disintegrated and I've got new ones to fit eventually when I get around to it. Volunteer driver with 4x4 Response South East Wales

yep did mine a few weeks ago hardest part was getting the cable out from under the car once it was disconnected from the module so whether you take it out or do in situe makes no difference to that
has your cable snapped? mine did the hardest part was getting the unit into service mode as it had done an emergency release and as a result i could not wind it off with the iid tool so had to get inventive with a g clamp to be able to reset then wind back the unit via the iid tool
not saying it was easy but its doable with patience or you pay someone else big money to do it for you
i also fitted the chinesey cable that cost about £18 fitted fine and look as good as oem
mine snapped only the o/s cable so i only changed that one and from what i read it seems to be the one that usually goes, nipple snapped off the end on the brake shoe  good luck please excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou

Thanks for the info, I have patience which you need with these vehicles, and I'm guessing you need triple jointed arms, but I'm used to that sort of thing, lol.
I was looking at the cheaper cables, but wasn't sure of the quality, as wouldn't want to be replacing them in another year.
I think my cables are just snagging sometimes as they looked quite corroded at the hub end. The brake will work fine a few times, then just screech for the next few times. Hopefully it will work during the MOT next week as can't do the job for a few weeks.
