Removing the Emergency Brake Cable from a Car
Craig HopkinsDescription
Craig Hopkins quickly teaches you how to use a clamp and a rubber mallet to remove an emergency brake cable from its holding in the floor of a car body.
I'm having so much fun with the tech tips, you know? The car is almost in park. I need to get the seam sealer out. But these little son of a guns on most emergency brake cables can be extremely frustrating and difficult to get out of the car. The simple solution is to just think of it like piston rings. I've got a hose clamp, little one, right there. What I'm hoping to do is just use the clamp to compress the fingers on that e-brake cable right there. And then just nudge it right out of the car. And if you've ever fought with one of those before, I bet you said words your mama didn't let you say in school.
That's an excellent tip for the beginner. IF the brake cable is being replaced it doesn't matter if you destroy the cable or not. I just take a screwdriver & twist & break off the three fingers. It doesn't matter. BUT DON'T do it until the new cable to replace it fits & looks proper.
Great tip! Another way is to slip a closed end wrench over the fingers and tap the cable out. Just Incase small hose clamps hide like 10mm sockets in your garage too.
3rd time I have seen this or a version of this one in about a YEAR . Getting old guys !!
This is a great idea that I will use from now on!. I have fought those fingers for years. Thanks for the tip.
