Foreman brake cables
has anyone replaced the brake cables on a honda foreman. i have an 05 forman. i have to replace the rear brake cable i belive. i just put new pads on the back, but when i use the hand lever or foot lever they dont really work. and everything seems to be adjusted correctly. Is there an easy way to do them, anyone got instrutions or illistrations? thanks guys!

I haven't done one, but since no one else answered...
Is the thing not supplying stopping power, or is the lever not wanting to return after you apply the brakes?
It looks pretty straightforward to replace. Before doing that I think I'd unhook both ends and see how the inner cable slides in the housing.
It would be a bummer to replace the cable and find out the pivot on the drum was gummed up or something. If it's just not stopping, I'd be thinking water or gunk in the drum.

You mean it pulls to the bar with no stopping power, or just when you squeeze hard you get no braking power?
The foot pedal not returning makes me also think cables. I think I'd still disconnect the cables and see how the inner cable moves through the housing before buying parts.
