lift the corner of the offside car up and shove a prop arch lever for support. contact the dealer and ask for the vin number to ensure the correcr spanner width size for the head of the ratchet coller will collaborate. verify that the vin given by the dealer matches the actual car! then using a slider tray go beneath the car and look around the petrol tank. once checked for leaks in the tank are, its ok to then have a cigarette whilst working. using a ring spanner 13mm and an adjustable spanner size 15mm, wind one spanner clockwise and the other spanner the other clockwise way. once the cable becomes really slack, you;ll know you've been winding the wrong way like i did! once it becomes tight again, get someone to sit in the car and release the handbrake so that you can tighten it up further. once its done you can get out from underneath, start the car up and go for a drive to test out the adjustments please. job done.
