So, we are going to be replacing the cable that is right behind this handle right here. If you were to pull it out and look right there, you are going to see something that's an awful funny shape. What you actually need to do is turn it clockwise so that the little splines will line up with the holes in this dash panel, and it will come unclipped. Before we do that though, if you were to look at this handle, pretty much right where my finger is. Right there, you will see a little push tab, and of course, on the other side of the handle, there's another one. You're just gonna push right in on that tab and then this handle will come off of this.
Push it right there. There we go. So now you can see the two tabs. If you could press it on both at the same time it would probably be helpful, but you don't necessarily need to because once you get one out you can just kind of twist it and it pops off. Now I'm gonna grab on to this and I'm gonna turn it clockwise. And line up those pitons. There we are. And now this should of course push into the dash panel. The rest of it is gonna be located right underneath the dash here. So now following that cable, what you're gonna see is that it kind of comes up, it does a little loop, and then it comes back around to right here.
It's pressed into two little pitons that are like that. We're gonna pop it out, and then we'll grab the rest of the cable from right down here. Get this off of here. All right we've got a little clip right up here. This is kind of just holding it so it can't move around too much on us. Just come right under here, pop that free, and then remove our cable. So, we've got our new cable here. Once you've matched it up with the old one you know you have the same length and same overall shape. It's time for the install. What we're gonna do is we're gonna make a nice little loop that looks a lot like this. We're gonna put it inside and we're gonna slide this so that it comes through the dash right there. Put it up like that.
We're gonna go through that little clip. Of course, if you don't feel like going through the clip now you can just put it through after. Get this lined up then once it's through, we're just gonna grab on to it, and turn it. It's just gonna come right in like this. I'm gonna give this a little turn counterclockwise. And you can see that I have it so it's in its locked position. This is aiming side to side so now when I put the handle on there it's gonna work perfectly. We're gonna make sure the line is going through twice on this clip right here, and then I'm gonna lock it in. I'll push this, line that up, push it in so it latches in. Give it a nice tug, make sure it's completely secured. At this point, I'm gonna take this right up on there. Secured. Let's get the handle on there. Okay, let's give it a test. E-brake's on. E-brake's off. On. Off. Awesome.

Okay, friends. To get started on replacing our emergency release cable, you obviously need to first see where it's gonna lead down to. Leads down to the lever that's located right on your e-brake mechanism. It's gonna be easiest to go ahead and remove this by cutting this cable right here. So I'm gonna cut this. And then at this point, I can grab onto this handle and pull it right out of here.
The next thing that we're gonna need to do is push on the squeeze tabs. There's gonna be one on each side of the handle itself. We'll get this apart and we'll set the handle aside. The next thing we're gonna do is use a nice flat screwdriver like this. I'm just gonna push on this tab and I'm gonna try to separate the two.
There we are. Hold on to this and dispose of the rest of this. Now let's grab onto the rest of that cable. As we push it towards the firewall, you're gonna see that there's an area where it slides right out. Now, let's just use a nice pair of needle-nose pliers. We're gonna grab onto this piece, give it a little twist clockwise so it lines up, and then let's pop it right out of there.
So, now looking from the back side here, you're gonna see that you have a little clippy do, there's gonna be two ears. If just grab it with some flyers, grab onto those two ears and you should slide this up. I'll pop right up and out of there. Now we need to continue on by removing this from its mounting area. Usually, you can just try to pry on that and you can pop right out.
Now let's grab that cable and get it out of here. There it is friends. All right. So now looking at this clip right here, you're gonna see that it has a locking tab. Just come right under it with a screwdriver you're gonna be able to separate it. We'll set this aside, hold onto this, make sure it's still in good locking condition and let's grab our new cable. So we've at our new cable, let's go ahead and make a nice little loop with it. We're gonna put back on our clip and, of course, make sure we lock it in.
Now, let's get this up and into the truck. Now, looking at this, obviously, you want this area right here to be facing out towards where the handle's gonna be. And obviously, we want the other end going down towards where it belongs in the actual e-brake mechanism. Put this open in here. When you put it in, you want your loop to be facing up towards the top of the vehicle, not facing down towards the floorboard. You don't want that coming down near your feet.
I'm gonna put the end through the plate and then we'll snug it up. All right. So now that that's on there, let's grab our needle-nose pliers and lock it in. Okay. So that's locked in. We have our ears facing side to side. So now it's gonna be time to get our little clip back on here. You wanna make sure it's facing in the right direction. Essentially, when we have this piton inside the hole, we wanna have it so this area right here, lines up with the e-brake mechanism.
Okay. So I have that locked in. So now that the clips in, let's continue on by putting on the end of our e-brake release cable down into the lever itself, and then, of course, we'll bring this up and we're gonna latch it in right here. Make sure it's completely secured so we can't fall off of there. This looks great. Let's get our handle on there. Let's get the handle on here. Go ahead and line it up with those prongs. Give it a nice little push. Make sure it's completely secured. Let's test the e-brake. All right. It releases perfectly.
