Parking Brake cables, R&R

[Mike Del Tergo]

Bernie,
can't help assuming you have a sedan, on the avant, neither the exhaust or 
drive shaft need removal BTDT X 2.  One recommendation is to replace the U 
clips that hold the front ends of the cables in place and use E clips 
instead.  You can manipulate these, i.e., put some serious leverage on them 
to slid into place where the U clips are usually crappy and can't take any 
lateral forces without crapping out. I used very long industrial needle 
noses and the clipped right in. Your right a real PITA.

Anyone have words of wisdom for this project?  How does one disengage them
from their anchor points at the actuating pivot?  Can this be done without
R&R'ing the exhaust system and drive shaft?

Thanks,  Bernie
