I have pulled the 7 1/4 rear end and replaced it with an 8 1/4, I have everything I need for brakes (all new) but the E-Brake hardware, my question is will all the hardware for the E-Brake that is on my 7 1/4 work in my 8 1/4 ?
Are you running the same diameter brakes on both? Then I think it should.
There are two types of e-brakes for the a-bodies, one with equal length rear cables, and one with unequal length cables that meet on the driver's side....
Use about a 9/16" or 1/2" deep well socket or box end wrench over the end to press the "tangs" in to remove the old cable from the old backing plate...
Work a little lithium grease on the strand and then work it through the cable to lube it while you got the old cables off...
