Hello
Recently when getting my brakes and alignment checked, my garage told me the ebrake cables were stretched (might explain why I couldn't seem to get the ebrake nicely adjusted..either they seem to drag, or they don't engage enough, even when the ebrake handle is fully up) Anyhow, I decided to do it myself. Started working on it, but it seems like a bit of a PITA to get the brake line disengaged from the brake shoe. Didn't have the tool to separate the rear balljoint (I am probably not using the correct term...I don't need to pop the ball joint out, but just to push the bolt out of the hole) Anyways long story short, ended up putting the hub back on and putting it all back together and calling it a day.
My question is if there is any shortcut to do this, or do I pretty well have to separate everything (ie remove wheel hub. separate rear damper bolt, separate where the ball joint bolt attaches, etc)
Thanks
