Lisle 40800 parking brake cable remover

[Aarons72s]

I have told a few about this tool and for Christmas I got one. It is a Lisle 40800 parking brake cable removal tool. Here is there description:

Removes most parking brake cables.
This double ended tool will remove parking brake cables from the brake backing plate and the chassis mounting bracket. The cylindrical tool ends compress the spring fastner for easy disassembly. Use smaller end for Ford Escort, Topaz and Tempo. Use larger end for other vehicles.

Directions:
1. Select the proper tool end based on the spring size.
2. Slide the tool head over the brake cable end.
3. Force the tool head over the spring fastner to compress the three fingers.
4. Pull brake cable to remove.

Now no more fighting with those little tangs that hold the cable to the backing plates and to the frame. I havent had a chance to use it but will someday. Could have used this along time ago. Not sure of the price, as I said it was a gift. But you should be able to take the part number to any place that sells lisle tools and get a price and get one. I hope you enjoy.

Mods: If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it where it belongs after everyone has had a chance to see it. Thanks

Nice looking tool get it dirty I wish I had a Parking Brake on my truck PO took off the cables from the Parking brake to the center of the Cab Said he didn't need a parking brake since he was going to build the truck for the Track... SO that is something on my to do list buy a new or used cable and put it back on...

interesting tool//i've always just used a small hose clamp to do the job

[mbgmike]

I used to have one of those but it never seemed to work. Maybe i just wasn't strong enough to shove it on. I kept using the pliers and screw drivers

Hose clamp never worked for me. I havent found one strong enough yet. I dont know about the tool but who ever came up w/this cable design should be shot. What a pain in the ass removing these.
