Hi all,
I just installed 2 rear calipers and disks on my 90 100Q and ran in to a new
problem. The removal and install went well except for the e-brake cables. I
have been messing around with the e-brake lever for a year taken the
calipers apart about 3 times and never had a problem attaching the cables.
With the new calipers I can't get enough cable length to get them on to the
lever. Anyone have any btdt's on how to get them on.

One relatively easy way to do it is to install the cable onto the caliper
prior to installing the caliper over the rotor...
Usually you can use big pliers to compress the ebrake lever against the
return spring pressure and gain enough slack...
