Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Parking Brake Cable

[Jean-Yves Chouinard <jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you leave the cross member in place, remove the parking brake drum, or you will have a party pulling out engine/trans combo out of the car...

Removing the drum will also give you much better access to the cable.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Parking Brake Cable

 

Pulling the drivetrain out of our ’62 NY Wagon; now that the ’62 300 Sport is back on the road. (Sort of)

Ready to yank the engine & trans out together once we remove the Parking Brake Cable from the transmission at the drum.

I have read the service manual on how to remove.

- Dust Shield is off.

- External Cable Clamp has been fully loosened.

- But….Popping the Ball End of the Cable OUT from the Operating Lever is...well….not happening.

Who has helpful hints?

- It is STRONGLY advised to remove the Transmission Cross Member to better access the Ball End of the Cable inside the drum?

- Pop (or pry) it out with a flathead screwdriver?

Any other hints?

Any Do’s or Dont’s?

Thanks!
