How to replace parking brake equalizer?
'93 F250, the little steel doodad that connects the single cable coming from the parking brake pedal to the two cables going to each rear wheel.
Looks to me like it's made to be installed with no tools, but... you obviously gotta have a certain amount of slack in the cables to get it to go, then you take up the slack once it's in.
I depressed the brake pedal in the truck with a board, pulled the parking brake pedal all the way up to get it in the release position, got under the truck and pulled on the rear cables with a pair of channellocks, but nogo. There just ain't enough cable there the way I'm doing it.
What am I missing?
