I am installing my rear cobra disk but cant figure out how to remove the e brake cable from the drum. I am about to cut the damm thing. How do I get the cable off?
Those little 'tongs' are bent out so it won't pull out, you would have to crimp as many as you can and start it through the hole while you bend the last few in with a small screwdriver. I helps to have someone pulling pressure on it so the ones you get through don't pop back out. My old ones weres shot so I snipped many of them off and then pushed the rest through the hole.

Slip the box end of a 13mm wrench over the cable. It will be tight enough to collapse the tangs and you can remove the cable. (it might take a litttle wiggling)
If he is like me I can probably count on one hand in 20+ years of driving that I have actually used a parking brake on my own vehicles.
I don't need it, although I don't if it would pass inspection with out it.

I don't need mine either, especially since I have an auto. But those few times you can count on hand are the times you are thankful you have one. I made it a point to get mine working, you just never know when you will need it. It's called an emergency brake for a reason, right?
