There is a silver pin on the central brake cable equalisation lever.
Remove the C-clip and push the pin out.
Dismount the lever.
Back to the battle to try this. It doesn't look like mine has this pin though if you are talking about the middle contraption that connects the two separate cables to each back tire. Ive already threaded out the adjusting screw. Is there a place in the front somewhere where I can disconnect the main cable to get more slack?

Also am I doing something wrong in that Im having to fiddle with trying to move the driveshaft/rear end assembly to get this bolt out? Im going to wrangle up some more jacks to try to manipulate the different parts separately.

Believe me I pulled that autodrain nonsense off the compressor last night. Put the conventional drain back.

daw_two hopefully this project won't come off the rails so bad that I have to stay disassembled for weeks. The goal is to have the old one out and pick up the new used one today. Wish me luck.
I think we would all be curious how the aluminium and steel ones compare when weighed on a scale. Many in the performance world consider "unsprung" weight in the driveline to be like a 5 to 1 equivalent to overall weight in the vehicle. As in: remove 1 pound from the driveline is like removing 5 pounds of weight from the car.
