Hello all!

Is there a way to 'equalize' the parking brake cables? I just had to replace my handle assembly due to the metal 'catch' breaking where the cables sit in their slots. If that makes sense, lol. That's when I noticed my cables are different lengths and I'm thinking that's why my lever assembly broke. I know these don't self-adjust like old drum brakes and I've adjusted them at the wheels. Cables are still off though. Thoughts?

Thanks!
Tim

I also read somewhere you could loosen 1 of the brake caliper mounts and remove the other bolt and swing everything out of the way enough to remove the rubber pug to get to the starwheel and not even have to remove the wheel. I need to adjust mine annd I was looking last week and it looks like it can be done.
