Can't get the parking brake assy out! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

weever82 · 10-01-2012, 01:38 PM

Heres the parking brake assy in the pic... I can't figure out how to get it out!! I unscrewed the two bolts inside the engine bay that connect it to the firewall. I dissassembled the cable from the main assy. there is nothing left holding it in but I can't figure out how to get it out of the dash.... Do those two bolts in the firewall come out or are they part of the whole assy? I tried beating on them a lil and didn't budge...Maybe have to take the dash out first... I dunno...

Any thoughts?

it'll come out, just start pulling it to the right working it back and forth, it's tough but it will come, i've been there.

There is a bolt or two that connects the dash to the cab on the far left, take them out along with the bolt that goes from the bottom of the dash to the e-brake and you should be able to pull the bottom of the dash out enough to get some wiggle room like Fldawg said.

No prob! Glad I could help. Need any other angle let me know and I will snap a pic before it comes out. Trying to finish pulling it out later on tonight.

There was 3 bolts. One all the way up the top, one in the middle and one hidden beside the vent. After I removed the bolts it gave me enough wiggle room to pop it out!

Thanks again guys, much appreciated.
