Rear Caliper Removal
I feel really stupid in asking such a question, but I am tryin gto remove the rear calipers so I can clean and paint them. I have everything off except the ebrake cable, well the cable is loose and the end is not connected to the spring thingy. How do I get the rest of it off??

check the FSM, it shouldn't be too hard to slide off. Im not sure off the top of my head if there's a lock nut holding it on, but some WD40 might loosen it up a bit. Also, only do one caliper at a time, that way you have the other one to reference when you put it back together.

Like I said, I asked a stupid question... The T part of the cable was not a problem, it was the where it connected to the brakect. My brakes are just dirty and corroded to hell, so I decide to get a little curious with a screwdriver and it poped right out.
Yeah my Haynes Manual was MIA and I just found it right after remvoing them. Some luck, huh?

haha yeah I borrowed my friend's haynes manual, and it got lost in like 20 minutes...after like 30 minutes of looking it was just sitting right there under something. I swear those things are alive. Good luck with the rest of your brake stuff,
