OK guys, getting close to being done on this donor tear down project. Just the rear end and gas tank remain. The rear end is ready to come out, I've got all but 2 bolts out and a jack in place. What I am focused on now are the rear brake lines and parking brake feeding into the rear drum. I've successfully removed the rear drum and easily dislodged the parking brake cable from the "hook" inside the brake assembly. Now I'm trying to remove the cable from the drum assembly.
Question : How do you remove the cable?
Looks like there is a locking claw of some kind on the inside of the drum where the cable feeds in... can't figure out how to loosen this so I'm putting this out to this awesome forum for help.
