Re: [Amc-list] Projects - Parking brake cable

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Once you have it down out of the dash you should be able to wrestle it back enough to see how it is connected up front. My 69 had a rubber boot that keeps you from seeing how it is together till after you have it down.
  At the rear all mine had was a nut the threaded over a rod that you loosened up then removed it and the clip to release the cable.
 It can be a P.I.A. to do if you have a frozen cable as you have to get some playin the front to get it dissconnected.
IIRC, if you pull the handle back a few clicks before you unbolt it then ubolt it you can get the cable out of the handle easier.
