Snapped parking brake cable


Recommended Posts

Finally decided to take a look at my parking brake after neglecting it for over 2 months. I was lucky to find that it snapped at the rear mounting bracket and that it wasn't the pedal assembly. That being said, I ordered a replacement cable 2 months prior without looking at what had gone wrong with it: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=302886&cc=1181584&pt=1696&jsn=8. Upon further inspection, this cable looks like it's only long enough to go from the rear wheels to that connecting bracket. I need a cable to go from the cab to that bracket. I believe that this is the one I need https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.phppk=302885&cc=1181584&pt=1696&jsn=10.

 

Regardless, the cables going to the wheel hubs were in awful condition as well, so I might as well replace them. The new cable has a very long spring at the end of it, something the one on there already doesn't have. Does that spring attach to the double bracket or does it go towards the wheel? Don't want to order another cable only for it to be the wrong one....
