Good evening all,
I'm in the process of rebuilding the suspension on my '73 TR6. I've started with the rear and it all came apart without incident EXCEPT for the parking brake cable where it attaches to the trailing arm (see where items 134 and 135 attach in the picture below). Despite liberal applications of PB Blaster, the stud snapped off the fitting when I tried to remove it.
It appears that the only way to get this part from the usual suspects is to order the entire brake cable assembly. My questions are...
1. Can this part be replaced without replacing the entire (otherwise perfectly servicable) cable assembly? It looks like it might come off, but I've not gotten the rubber boot of the end of the cable yet.
2. If this can be removed, might any of you have a old cable with a good fitting around?
THANKS!
Ken
