Parking brake cable removal??
 
It seems that the rear bearing's on my recently purchased 92 LS-L have decided to go bad. They've been whining above 60 mph since I bought it actually, but recently it's gotten much worse.
Luckily(maybe) when I bought the car, I also purchased most of a parts car. Including the rear end assembly.

Anyway, I would like to replace my rear knuckles with my parts knuckles. Since the bearings in there can't be any worse. And are probably better.
After looking at the assembly I think I should just have to remove the strut bolts, lateral link bolt, ABS sensor, and parking brake cable to get the whole knuckle off.
Since after doing some searches I'm convinced this would be easier than just replacing the bearings.

So how does one remove the parking brake cable from the knuckle??
I think I can get the ABS sensor out, but I'm not sure about the cable.


I think tomorrow I'm going to go to advance auto and get a cheap shop manual...

It's been a while since I was in there to change out a rear bearing so I can't tell you an exact procedure. However, once you have the rear rotor off and look at the emergency/parking brake mechanism it isn't difficult to see what has to be done. If you're worried, take off both rear rotors and leave one side alone as a reference while doing the other side. It would help to have some standard drum brake tools to handle the spring clips, etc.
