I can't seem to get the damn clips for the e-brake cables to come apart on my '90 K5, where the drum cables connect to the main pedal cable, at the rear driver's wheel well. Getting frustrated. Any tips??

E-Brake Cable Question.

It's been a while since I have messed with them on a K truck, but can you disconnect it from the pedal, thus giving you more slack in the system to disconnect the cables where they join together.
Disclaimer: the last ones I messed with were on my dads 03 2500, so I can't remember the exact setup of the older ones

I dont' remember mine taking more than 15 min or so to get apart. Penetrating oil, and possibly trying to spread the clamp style bracket? Does that make sense?
Remove the e-brake cable directly from inside the rear brake area using a small hose clamp to compress the 3 fingers so the cable housing will come out of the backing plate.
HOSE CLAMP! Great idea! Thanks. That's my big problemo.
