parking brake cable boot??
I am installing a new parking brake cable and have bought the proper boots that fit where the cable attaches to the trailing arm. Is there a trick to getting these over the caliper end of the cable and spring without cutting or damaging them.
thanks

My trick was not using them at all. :)
I almost destroyed one and then realised that the SS cable and sleeve are sealed much better than the original one, so why bother?
Maybe I am wrong, but the parking brake works which is more than It has ever done.

Hey Bob!
Where did you get these boots? I've been looking for some. The GM service replacement is a ribbed boot, but the originals (to my car at least) just look like little rubber fingers.
Can you post a picture? Or e-mail one to me? And let me know where you got these?
Thanks, GM
