- How to remove emergency brake cable retaining clips without damage. Simple little trick for stubborn clips that you want to reuse. you may need to use vice grips or other tools to hold back the spring if it's covering the clips. See links below for keyed hose clamps, or the real tool if you need it!

As much as I wanted this to work, I needed the real tool Lisle Parking Brake Cable Remover 40750. Thanks though.
Thanks for the part number of the real tool! Pinned for other viewers that this method didn't work for 👍
@@WebWheeler please tell me you know what this part is actually called...or a part number? I can't find it and I've broken both of mine.
@@Juss-Saiyanit says the part number right there from @b777jetseter. Although the hose clamp truck should work
He's looking for the actual retaining clip that's on the ebrake cable. Any idea on where to find them besides buying a whole new cable assembly?
@@JasonLee-lv7tm yes the retaining clip. not the whole cable assembly.
I fought this thing for an hour before I watched your video. 5 minutes later I was done! Nice hack, thanks for sharing
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 👍
Hi and thank you for this video tip; I noticed that the e-brake cable was already disconnected from the parking brake actuator lever and there was no tension around the spring, which made it easy to access the retainer clip where you placed the thumb-screw hose clamp over. My question to you is, How do you release the tension on that spring to gain access to the plastic retainer clip in the first place?
It all depends on the spring setup but I've had good luck with using some vice grips to pinch a few coils and give you space for the hose clamp if it uses a bigger spring (1" diameter or so.) For the smaller springs that are tight to the cable, I pull the spring back a little and clamp the vice grips on the cable itself to act like a stop for the spring. Hope that helps!
@@WebWheeler Okay, thank-you. I figured that perhaps there was a special tool designed for this. Have a pleasant day.
You too! There probably is a tool out there but I've never really looked. Thanks again for watching!
@@WebWheeler You're welcome! Yes, I found the tool I was looking for; the OTC6722 brake spring locking plier. I ordered it earlier today through tooldiscounter for about $65.00. Once I receive the tool and I'm able to compress the spring, I intend on using a heavy-duty plastic cable tie (through the spring), as a secondary safety measure, in case the tool falls off. I don't feel like losing any fingers.
@@topcat5777 pretty hard to go by miniature vice grip and save 60$ but you do you!
Guys, before removing the cable, make sure you disengage the parking/hand/emergency brake first, so will be less tension on the cable.
Anyone know where to get replacments of the same style, mine broke off my 2009 Scion Xb and I cannot find one for the life of me. Thank you!
TIP dont know what is squeaking ??? belt? belt tensioner ? alternator? ext ext .... when motor is OFF !!!! put a coulple of pinches of AJAX'S powder cleaner on one of the pulleys were it gets under the belt,,,,, stay back a tad some powder may "poof" normal (powder/wind),,,,,, no more squeaky belt!! for a while any ways,,,, hope that helps trouble shoot a squeaky belt question,,
Unfortunately, this trick didn’t work for me. From what I can tell, there is a rubber boot behind the parking brake cable retention clip which prevents me from being able to compress the retention clip enough to get it through the hole. And I cannot get the rubber boot out from behind the retention clip. So I am at a complete standstill.
Awesome trick....video still helping people after 5 years...thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the support! 🍻
Just did this today at the junkyard, found a heater hose clamp on another car and did exactly this. Looking for a video of how to do it properly - apparent the junkyard hose clamp method has been done by others.
Thank you ,,,, thats why i came in and sat dwn is find that trick,,,, WOW only had 2 sips of coffee and im not pizzed at the computer ,,,, i will repay you w/ a tip
Thanks for sharing. It works, and one could use a regular hose clamp as well if nothing else is available
Yes you can! 👍 I like the wing nut style just so that it doesn't require other tools
That was exactly what I needed to know 👍

Dude! omg! where have you been my whole life! sheesh those tick me off and you just made it go *POOF* off it is, like magic lol. glad i found your channel, great tip, thx.
Glad the video helped you out- those things always gave me trouble too until I figured out that little trick haha. Glad you found the channel- thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing 🫡
Does anyone known what that style of clip is called or where you can get more? Need some for an old s10 Jimmy and it's like they don't exist 🤷♀️
I have been googling them a bunch too and can't seem to track down the name- only full cable assemblies. If I figure it out I'll update you!
Ya except I can’t move my spring out of the way
Josh B me too !
Did you get it? And if so, what did you do?
RodShop ya I did end up getting it with the small hose clamp, tightened it enough to bring the teeth together and yank it out
@@joshb897 Glad to hear it! I had to fight mine quite a bit before it finally worked. Not as easy as the vid was.
Sorry guys not sure how I missed this comment thread. Glad you got it! I've been able to move the spring away with pliers then use vice grips on the cable to keep the spring held back. Not sure what your application/setup was but glad you got it 👍
Thanks, I was using a regular small hose clamp and got discouraged. Then I found your video and pressed on, with my technique and got it, thanks for putting this together!
Thanks for watching! Great minds think alike 👍 haha yeah sometimes the stubborn ones need an extra push with a screwdriver or pliers while the clamp is on to pop loose
That's awesome!
Finally!! I’ve been fighting with these for two days in the process of a two Jeep double axle swap. I’ve been looking everywhere online and TH-cam and for some reason this one finally popped up! Thanks man I would totally by you 12 pack right now
Haha thanks man I'm glad it helped! If we ever meet on the trail i will take you up on the beer 👍
You’re the shit
I didn’t need this hack 5 years ago when it was originally posted, but I SURE NEEDED IT TODAY! Initially I had trouble with it, but I found I actually put the hose clamp TOO CLOSE to the bracket. There was no room for the cable to slide out. By moving the clamp 5 or so millimeters away I had enough room to slide it out far enough that I could remove the clamp and pull the cable the rest of the way out. Thanks a TON for this!!
thank you!
THANK YOU
That was awesome!! I struggled with those on y LJ, genius!!
Glad you found the video! I struggled with them for a long time before figuring out that little trick haha
Thank you for adding part numbers. Those tools make it so much easier . Thank You.
Thanks
They sell needle nose pliers with a circle at the end. That’s what I use but if I’m ever without my tools this looks like it would help with difficult to remove ones
Thanks!
Does anyone know what this part is called or a part number? I broke mine and trying to replace them
I've tried to find them as well and always had trouble. If I figure out a name or number I'll update you!
@@WebWheeler Thank you. I'm not trying to buy whole cables just for a clip.
Thank you for posting the video! I spent the last two days cursing the engineer who decided that the emergency brake needed a 3-prong retaining clip to keep the cable in place. Upon recommendation, I purchased the Lisle Parking Brake Cable Remover 40750 to "assist" in removing the cable and it was useless. After watching this video, I purchased the #4 hose clamp and "thin" vice grips and had the retaining clip off in 5 minutes. The trick is getting the clamp in place to hold down all three pins and using a screwdriver with a very wide tip and using that as a pry, then using vice grips to hold your ground as your getting the clip to pass through the retaining ring. The vice grip was the perfect tool in keeping the retaining clip from sliding back and "relocking".
How to remove emergency brake pads on a 07 Pontiac GPX
Worked great to release retaining clip but had to reduce tension on e brake cable under vehicle before I had enough play to pull the clip through to remove the cable
My friend you are da greatest. Much appreciation to you
Thanks WebWheeler for the nice tip on how that e-brake cable can be removed. Worked for me.
Sob!!!!! I fought 6 hours until I broke mine smh
Thanks so much for bring a life saver
Wow...great tip! Thanks!
What vehicle is that on.
This axle is out of a 2006 F250 but that style of retainer clip is found on all kinds of vehicles. Thanks for watching!
I never comment on videos, but I have to leave you one here thank you. I have been struggling with two of them on a 79 Ford for a minute and I don’t know why I did not think of this. That is awesome trick. Love it.
Thanks for watching and for the comment! Happy to help and I really appreciate the support 👍
I'm ALWAYS looking at regular stuff designed for one thing but could be used for many other things, this is one such deal, I've used the bigger ones to tighten onto those old round tops on the 60's Brake reservoirs where I could get leverage with the thumb screw to loosen up the caps
Clever idea! 👍 Thanks for watching
Cool trick thanks man!
Wow. Great tip. Gonna give it a shot tomorrow- getting this cable off my Ram 1500 is kicking my butt.
Hope it works for you! Wouldn't hurt to soak it in some WD40 beforehand too 👍 good luck!
Great video! Worked wonderfully. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching ,👍
So my parking brake is released but theres still tension on the spring, how do I remove that tension like in this video
If you can't disconnect the cable from anywhere else to relieve the tension, you might not be able to- Some vehicles will have a captive spring that you can relieve the tension on. In those cases I've clamped vice grips on the cable to hold the spring back or compressed the spring and tied it up with some bailing wire while I release the retainer. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Simple and yet Awesome Idea...thank you. ;)
No problem hope it helps!
Good idea thanks
I had a vision of this method Thanks to the power wisdom, made with seeds of greatness

Wow! Excellent tip. Going to try it with a regular hose clamp first. Wish me luck.
Good luck! Hope it helps you out 👍
@@WebWheeler worked like a charm. Would have been faster with the thumb screw but it worked great. Thanks!
Great! Thanks for the update- always good to hear it helped someone out 👍
Awesome,, thanks !
Happy to hear it could help you out! 👍
Very cool! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks that was awesome
Thanks for watching!
Is their a special tool, and video to go with that? tool?
I imagine the manufacturers have some special tool for the dealers but I have never bothered to look for it- this way has worked plenty and for and only cost a couple of bucks
Lisle sells a number of tools for this....but frankly I've always just used clamps. You can use a deep socket in a pinch as well, but tricky getting the right pressure on the clip
Wow, Thanks!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Zip ties work too
Good call! Never thought of that
Thank you.
