Rear Brake Change...I know I'm stupid
Ok...I can't get the E-Brake cable off the caliper, and without doing that I can't get in there to change the pads. How do you get off that e-brake cable. The Haynes manual said to remove the clip, but it does not feel as though it wants to come off easily and I don't want to screw anything up more than it already is. Thanks so much.

Take the bracket off that holds the cable to the trailing arm of the rear suspension and you'll have enough play to get the caliper off. You don't have to take the cable off the caliper if you take that bracket off. A 10mm bolt holds it on and it will give you enough play to get the calipers off and change your pads.

removing the holder will do it... butt you could always twist on the bolt that sits on top of it and makes the arm move back so you can remove it... much easier, i lerned this on the second wheel my self, i did it the other way the first time
