My rachet assembly is shot. I bought a used unit but I couldn't release enough tension to disconnect the old cable and connect the new one. Can someone give me a link to a how to or post instructions for the swap?
Thanks in advance.

Only trick that I could think of is to go to back of car and remove 15MM bolts from the parking brake brakets mounted on the rear calipers.
