Rear parking brake cable removal
 
I have searched for over an hour for how to remove the parking brake cable. I get nothing close, so it looks like it needs a special tool to remove it out of the holder. If anyone has a trick or know of a video please pass it on. It is a HHR SS with disc on the rear. I am replacing with all new HD calipers. Fronts took me 40 minutes. Been two hours trying to figure how to get the cable removed to install the new calipers. Thanks a bunch.

Loosen parking brake cable, 10mm deep socket,.
Disconnect brake cables.

Donbrew,
Love your three rules. Okay, of course Chevy has to be different. My wife has a van that is a peace of cake, my sons have fords that are easy too. Thanks guys.
