Minor question but appreciate any insight.  Just
replaced the parking brake cable (right side) on my 86
4000CS  (I guess this is a 4kqt?) and was wondering
how in heck do you get the rubber boot over the cable
entry point for the forward most part where it mounts
to the undercarriage?  This rubber boot keeps crud out
of the cable/hose portion and prevents it from seizing
up (like the one I just replaced).  With the exhaust
and driveshaft in there is no way to get your fingers
in there.  Anybody have any tricks?  There is probably
a $500 special Audi tool to do this.

Otherwise, finally getting this 86 Quattro on the
road.  Bought it two months ago as a father/son
project.  Will give it to my son for his 16th birthday
next week.
