On one side I was lucky and used a small screwdriver to push one tine in at a time while I was pulling on the cable and it came out. The other side I used a small hose clamp around the tines to compress them at the same time. Someone once told me a box-end wrench would work too. DP Pics of the cars: http://tinyurl.com/d2q9u |
i ended up getting ****ed on my '68 and replaced both rear brake cables.
i had no luck using screwdrivers and/or pliers to collapse the 3? fingers. you might try going in with a series of box end wrenches or like was just said, deep sockets to close down the fingers so they will fit through the hole Dinsdale wrote: > On Thu, 12 May 2005 18:13:04 GMT, "Paul Garza" > > wrote: > > >>Does anyone know how do disconnect the rear parking brake cable from the >>rear backing plate on a '66 coupe with rear drums? >> > > > If it's like my '65, you have to compress those spring-loaded > fingers...or tines...or prongs to get it out of the backing plate > right? > On one side I was lucky and used a small screwdriver to push one tine > in at a time while I was pulling on the cable and it came out.
