Allright, I'm currently swapping out my drum brake rear-end for a PBR disc/3.73 posi rear.

Well, I'm having a problem getting to the e-brake cables. I have an aftermarket torque arm, a Jegs one that includes a tunnel brace. I can't get to the e-brake cables without pulling off the tunnel brace, and to do that I basically have to pull apart my whole interior to get to the screws that the bolts go onto so I can actually remove the brace. I really don't wanna do this, so I was gonna just run without e-brake cables for a while, but I can't even figure out a way to disconnect those anywhere along there. My plan was to go over my firends house afterwards (he's got a lift) and then hook up the new e-brake cables. However, there isn't anyway to even disconnect these anywhere. There's some special fittings in a few places along the cable, but I can't figure out a way to pull them apart.

Does anyone know a simpler way to do this without pulling off the whole brace and basically pulling out my seats and carpet? Or is there a way to disconnect the cable temporarily?

-Thanks, Brandon

 

thje clips on the ebrake cables on my 87 need to be squeezed inward before they can release
try using a fuel line disconnect tool, or some tiny screwdrivers and alot of cursing
adjusting the cable was a p.i.t.a. on my car wihtout a tunnel brace, it'll be hell for you, when u put the new cables in your gonna have to adjust them and the adjustment is exactly where u dont need it to be
i got by with a ratcheting 13mm wrench and a 1/4" wrench,
maybe u can get to it easier by removing the driveshaft

if you can release the clips u might be able to move the adjuster to a better position to tighten them up later
