The wife's T4 has been having some trouble with the parking brake holding, since she's away for a bit, thought I'd take care of some things. New flexy front brake lines, ceramic pads, started in on the parking brake, and the cable is stuck in the housing. Now I have another whole backing plate, etc from the wrecked car, but am having trouble removing the cable housing from the backing plate. I've tried hose clamps, but they don't have enough oomph to pull the locking tabs in. Any brilliant ideas?
Its hard to hold three tabs down when they're diametrically opposed to one another, never mind the fact that one is always covered by the backing plate
