For help in replacing the emergency brake cable, there are online diagrams like seen at NAPA and AutoZone, or from manuals like from Motors, Peterson, Chilton, Mitchell, Perkins, etc. Not much has changed in the area of drum brakes over the years. If the cable end at the wheel is hanging down, it means it is not connected to the actuator arm/linkage. You can operate a vehicle without the emergency (parking) brake, but obviously it's better (safer) to have a functional emergency brake. | For help in replacing the emergency brake cable, there are online diagrams like seen at NAPA and AutoZone, or from manuals like from Motors, Peterson, Chilton, Mitchell, Perkins, etc. Not much has changed in the area of drum brakes over the years.
