I have purchased replacement cables at a truck show last week. In order to
remove the old cables I needed to cut them and then I could get both sides
removed from the backing plate. The cables I purchased did not have the
larger piece that holds the cable to the outside of the backing plate - I
need to pull these from the old cable and attach to the new cable (at some
point).
Is there a way to install these that anyone would recommend? I have NOT
tested anything yet.
What I am guessing is to first remove the brake pads. Then push the cable
from the inside of the backing plate to the center of the truck. I am
guessing that all of the medal cable sleeve and the rubber bumper tubes will
fit through the whole in the backing plate. Then once through I would need
to attach the piece from the old cable that attaches to the backing plate
next to the felt pad. Then I would be on my way. Again, I am just
guessing - has anyone done this?
Thanks,
