Heya. Got a 92 GS with an ebrake problem. Only the right side cable works, the left side doesn't move at all when pulling on the lever. I figure it's broken near the bracket, above the resonator. Before I go taking my exhaust out, I want to grab a junkyard cable just incase it is broken.
Since the wrecker is an hour and a half away, what are the tools I'd need? I'm going to be bringin my socket set, some pliers, vice grips and wrenches, but anything special? Thanks.
Tools needed to remove e-brake cable?

Re: Tools needed to remove e-brake cable?
IMO your wasting your time with a used cable, it's probably in the same shape as the one you have. Pretty cheap here and usually 2-3 day delivery. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carco ... ttype,1696

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Used cable was $5 and still works. I take that as a win!
A 10 mm socket, 12, and I think 14mm were needed. Then a screw driver to bend some metal (yay for junkyards) and pliers to pry with. Came right out!
