[Chevelle-list] Rear Parking Brake Cables

[Rick Schaefer]

  My 2 cents.    I've changed rear brakes maybe a half dozen times, last was
maybe 8 years ago.  So for what its worth, wait til you get the brake
cable.  As I recall, it was a pain to connect the cable to the lever which
mounts on the shoe.     Thinking about it, you could assemble it all, and
then remove it when ready to connect the e-cable.  Just so you know what you
have and don't forget how it goes back together.
