If you need to Just size it up to a metric or standard socket, one thats a little tight. Tap it on there far enough to get a good grip and see if you can break it loose.  I think the dealer will hit you for at least $25 if you go.  I've taken mine off totally.  No one wants gold lace wheels.   :laugh:

Alright I'll try that then.  :laugh:

i just took a punch and put the socket in the table vice, then tapped it out after.  good luck.

[TGP Nick]

Good idea.  I'll try that- save me a good $25 anyway.  :laugh:

I doubt anybody has this, but does anybody have the part # for a Ebrake cable?  I need one that goes from the pedal to the rear calipers- mine is shot.
thanks

are you sure it is dead?  sometimes those things just hang up because there is too much gunk in there and keeps if from ratcheting down.  If the cable is snapped then yeah, you have to replace, dealer only item, but if its not snapped just try cleaning that mechanism and you might find it will make it work.

My cable is all nasty and stuck- like corroded from the inside- so much that the parking brake is stuck on.  I disconnected it because I couldn't get the cable to budge.  :icon_rolleyes:  :laugh:

I don't know how you feel about aftermaket items but I got mine at the local Advanced Auto store. Mine was so rusted that I had to use sawzall to get the bitch off. Let me add one more thing, I'm not a mechanic but there must be a easier way to put the new one on. I went ahead and installed it after I put the parking brake assembly back on, and to get that eye hook latched, was literly and SOB.

[TGP Nick]

How much did it cost?  I NEED a new cable!

[jimmy]

I couldn't have spent over $30                     OH wait my wife just said I spent 27.99 plus tax, so what ever that is. :icon_wink:

[TGP Nick]

Wow that's not bad at all!  Do you happen to have the part # and brand of the cable?
Thanks man!
Nick

[TGP Nick]

try stopping into the store and having them look it up, that was if its wrong they are liable and not you.

Are there TWO Ebrake cables?  It lists one cable for left rear and one for right rear on every site I try.
