Re: rear center brake hose

found it, tks guys. doesn't look too bad.

what's giving me issues now is disconnecting the parking brake cable. how do i relieve the tension so i can unhook the cable? i loosened the center nut but the cable runs through a plastic sleeve/coating that seems to be maintaining the tension, here is a pic of the assembly.

any creative ideas/tips welcome

tks all

Re: rear center brake hose

Move the lever towards the cable housing mount. (that cable housing looks bad on the other side of the bracket)
Its best if you unhook the cables from the center of the car 1st, that makes the job easy.

Re: rear center brake hose

So that would be rotating that lever counter clockwise? Any suggestions how to best do that? Hard to grip anything and overcoming that spring is difficult
