- Fri Jan 02, 2009 7:26 pm #86593 Ok, i'm having a problem.
I'm pulling out the rear suspension, and i cannot get the bracket off the end of the parking brake cable. I have rear disc brakes, and the cable goes through a hole in the trailing arm, but the bracket that bolts to the brake caliper is too big to fit though.
Does anyone have a picture of how this comes apart?

Thanks for any help.

Is this possible in your case? All you have to do is unscrew the rear of the center console and lift it up and you'll have access to the cables.

Sawing through those bad-boys with a hacksaw is no fun! Best of luck!
