Unhooking the Ebrake pedal?

[Darrman]

I am having trouble removing the ebrake pedal, I have it unbolted and have removed the push on clip from where the cable attaches to the back, but cant get it to come loose. Everything is still attached under the truck, so how can I take the pedal mechanism off?
Thanks for any help!

thew pedal has twobolts and one nut holding to the cab. the two bolts are on the outside firewall and the nut is under the dash. maybe it two nuts on the firewall and one bolt under the dash i forget.

yeah, I got the bolts all out and can move the whole thing around, I just cant get the cable to come off.

As I recall, that clip is the only thing holding the cable on so it should come out. Probably just rusted or gunked up. I'd clean it up a bit and start pushing and pulling. Here's a couple of photos.

Thanks, I will go try again, hopefully my ebrake will be as clean as yours when its all done, that looks brand new!

I heard somewhere on this site to loosen the adjustment under the truck to give some slack in the cable to get it separated from the pedal!

[bugser]

Yep,gotta have the slack.

[fordman]

for slack just remove the spring underneath.

Hey Darrman..

Yeah. I ran into the same problem...

If ya loosen the ebrake (undeneath, just behind the front of the bed)
You'll get all the slack you need.
I fought with it for about 45 minutes.
I'd just about have it then I'd lose it...I just loosened the adjusting nut a few turns, and it came right out...
