Parking brake cable on 1956 Ford Thunderbird
I am having some problems replacing the parking brake cable on my 1956 T-bird. I replaced both the front and rear cables. The problem is when I pull the handle to set the brake, the handle doesn't travel as far as I think it should. It feels tight but the rear brakes are not engaged. I don't believe there is any slack in the cables.
I thought maybe something was binding on the inside of the car so took it all apart again to check it out. The replacement cable has a plastic/vinyl? sleeve over the steel braided cable. It appears to me that the thicker cable may be too tight in the groove if the pulley. Should I try to remove the vinyl covering on the cable on the section inside the car so the steel cable moves better in the pulley? |
