Re: 67 E-brake removal
Hello,
these pictures should help: where the cable goes thru the frame cable clip on the frame in wheel well backing off the equalizer nut cable where it attaches to hand lever new cable where it goes thru frame I thought I had some of the new cable after installation, but I don't. The easiest way to remove the old cable at the frame is to break off the little spring fingers. Hope that helps!

Re: 67 E-brake removal
How do you hold down all those clips at the same time to get it out of the hole in the frame?

Re: 67 E-brake removal
Use a small hose clamp to compress the fingers when removing .

Re: 67 E-brake removal
Great! I was also thinking of sliding a nut that is just the right size over it.
