anyone change an e brake cable on a 87sdl-i ve heard you have to take seats and carpet out,but have no more info than that.my cable is worn at foot brake and does not return pedal when disengaged has to be pulled up with my foot, ihave determined its not pedal or spring.

There is a turn buckle under the car about 1/2 way down. Try tightening that. If you need a cable I have one that I did not need...

At that "turn buckle", there should be a return spring. Also, determine whether it is the rear cables (2) or the front cable.

Yeah check the spring underneath the car. It becomes very rusty.
