Ok, I got the hub nut off, parking brake shoes off (I dont know how they are going to go back on, tough to squeeze behind the hub) backing plate unbolted and loose, all 5 link nuts/bolts loose, but the parking brake cable through the back of the carrier is through a circle hole, and the end of the cable has a pivot mechanism that is not going to fit through it! Any ideas? Thanks
