E-brake
Looking to remove the emergency brake cable from the frame...any ideas on how to remove it from where it goes through the frame after it drops down from the firewall?

Re: E-brake
I have used a zip tie to compress the little metal fingers and pull it through the hole. Once the little fingers get past the frame, you can pull it so the zip tie slides down or cut the zip tie off.

Re: E-brake
On other vehicles, I've always just found a socket that will slip over the metal fingers to compress them. Only takes a couple of seconds.
