    Installing new Parking brake cables

    Hey guys both the left and right side parking brake cables are seized on my SN95. I pulled them out and ran new cables. My issue is getting the cables onto the calipers and connected to the T piece under the car at once. I can't seem to get both on, only one or the other.

    Also those springs that go on the bottom of the rear caliper seem nearly impossible to get back on, any trick to compressing them to go back?

    Thanks guys.

    You need to have the cables extended to get them on, meaning the e-brake actuators need to be applied. Not sure why you took of those rear e-brake return springs though, those will be tough to get back on.

    -springs back on (as said above, will be a bitch)
    -both cables on and hooked to the Y connector up front
    -grab the caliper end of the cable with vise grips or similar, pull / slide the first one on (will be easy peezy), remove v grips
    -grab the cable end on the other side, yank like a bastage n slide it into position, done.
