Ok, you forgot to read the rules obviously.... we need pictures, and luckily some members pointed out that the price is also a MUST HAVE,
Pictures required asap before this thread gets pulled.
You only have to get one started, then hold the cable housing on an angle while you work around to the other two.
Or just use my other suggestion if you're not confident or competent with hand tools.
Hose clamp is the winner. You can adjust the height of it and get it in the right spot, the cable comes right out.
How do you depress and hold 3 tangs with needle nose pliers?
Lee.....check to see if the hanger 'tongue' is long enough on the tips. I had problems with short tongues, and my tips kept falling out the hangers.
I got my exhaust guy to extend the tongues by about an inch each, and no problems now.
I would suggest a small zip tie, but it might not be strong enough to hold the tangs closed long enough to push the cable housing out.
Or you could try it and see.
Have you got a small 'jubilee clip' or whatever you guys in non-metric land call them....hose clamp
Undo one, and carefully wrap it around the spring tangs/clips....tighten gently with the clamp only a smidgeon (1/16") away from the backing plate.....then work the cable towards the edge...
Since you mentioned Ford, I know from professional research that in 2008 Ford ranked 21st out of 23 OEM manufacturers selling vehicles in the US as far as Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) -- they sucked!! In 2010 they somehow managed to rise to #2. My friend (a mobile mechanic) has a 2018...
Haha you're telling me! I removed the cable from where it connects to the drum, and can get 2 of the 3 tabs depressed...its just that pesky one angled towards the interior of the drum...like the one on the backside.
Relieve the tension on the brake cable first.
Then use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to squeeze the two/three locking tabs towards the centre of the housing of the cable.
You will need to do that one-handed while your other hand wiggles the cable from behind the backing plate.
Not easy, but...
Title says it all. Trying to push in the 3 wing retaining clip to pull the parking brake out of the rear drum brakes is freaking impossible. Is there a tool? Is there a way? Am I doing it wrong? Seems like if I can depress the 3 wings, it will slide out of the drum....but....how?
Most numbers in the Mopar world aren't carved in stone. That's what makes it fun. I have a 68 monaco 500 440 mag 4 speed that's supposed to be 1 of 7. But is it? Nobody can say for sure
