LB7: Parking brake cable misery

[Jules1525]

My 02 lb7 was *supposed* to go in for safety today and finally get plated. One little thing left I needed to finish- connect the new e brake cables. After a few hours I got one on but I can't get the two of them on.. what am I missing? There must be a trick I don't know for this right?

Everything happens for a reason though. The blower motor decided on is the way to be while I was fighting with the lines so either way this wasn't the day I was winning.

Take the rear hats off, this will allow you to pull the ebrake past the set point to make up the cable.

Hats? This is sounding like something I can't finish with it on the ground. I've never done e brakes before. Only pads and rotors, apparently I never want to do this again! Haha

Just jack up the side you cant get on, remove the rotor and put the cable on.

Thank you for the help! Got it hooked up and she's now (finally) plated.

Now to get used to the gauge readings. Going from gas to diesel I keep checking to make sure things are where they should be.
