Using a socket around the e brake cable to compress those spring metal fingers is sometimes helpful to remove them.The rear brakes are done, got new parking brake cables installed today. I forgot what a pain it is to get the old ones off the backing plate.![]()
Lol! Guilty!On the opposite side I used a small hose clamp to compress the metal fingers, and it popped through the hole. The first side, I did it like a caveman.
I agree 100% on using the mechanical brake light switch!Don't know if the parts store will have exactly what you want. I went with the Speedway purple one on the rears & it did the job. Also, I recommend the mechanical type of brake switch. The pressure ones tend to fail at the most inopportune times. Like at the NTBA Nationals in Springfield (I won't mention any names!)
