Emergency Brake Cable Removal

[Jbleeds]

I need to replace my e brake cable. No problem removing it at the transmission cross-member, especially since that's where the old cable is frayed and almost ready to fall off! The problem is that I can't figure out how to remove the cable from the emergency brake handle. I removed the clip on the firewall side and that allows the old cable to almost slide all the way off, but I am about a 1/4 inch from getting the old cable off. Any one dealt with this before, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

are we talking about the cane handle parking brake
if so . at the handle end . where the two ratchets (spring loaded clips )
lift each one up a little and the rod will move farther back . and you'll be able to turn handle
to remove cable and ball end

My 69 Jeepster was the color of your profile picture. Liked that!

Adding to this old thread which I found useful tonight. The arrows point at the two ratchets. The one closer to the T is the one that needed to be lifted to get the extra length.
