My parking / emergency brake cable broke while trying to adjust it. I'm having trouble with removing the cable from the park brake pedal bracket inside the cab. It's a '92 D-150 if that helps.
Pics coming shortly.

 

The cable won't slide out past the bracket. How do I do it?

It appears the keeper is pretty shiny. Read that as buggered up. The keeper normally has two slightly raised **** on each side that you squeeze together and pull the cable sheath out of the hole in the bracket. It should pull right out. The cable sheath is a loose fit in that hole.

If you have a whole new cable assembly a pair of vise grips on the old cable sheath just below the bracket and a screw driver to pry between the vise grips and the steel bracket the cable goes thru should pull it right out if it is stubborn. I find it easiest to remove the cable holder at the other end of the cable first so everything under the truck is loose before working where you are now.

 

That was me. I was turning it with needle nose vice grips to see if there was another tit stopping it from pulling thru.
Got it out with a channel lock.
Thank you, Sir!

 

i would take the whole cable and park brake assembly out of the truck and cut the cable out of the assembly. you have to cut the area you where trying to grab with the pliers. i think that is what i did when i replaced mine. no point messing around with something that is going in the garbage.

 

I had already freed the cable from the retaining clip and the bracket that is attached to the frame. It was no trouble once I put the channel locks on the cable, under the bracket, and pulled using the tool. I was just over-thinking it.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the replies, fellas!
