Re: e-brake cable removal
-
There should be a small clip or retainer on the cable housing, on the front side of the bracket on the trailing arms. If you remove the clip and slide the cable back it will slide out of the slot. This is one of those things that is really hard to explain in a post so I hope it makes sense... ![]() LockDoc

Re: e-brake cable removal
i took those clips off and it is a real pain to pull that cable back. i thought that is what you had to but i couldnt pull the cable back enough. im sure there is a little trick to doing it.

Re: e-brake cable removal
Make sure your e-brake is not on and you should be able to pull the outer housing back far enough to unclip them from the brackets. Then you can get the slack to disconnect them from the metal connector that connects them to the front cable.
Worked fine for me.
