You are pretty much gonna have to pull the fuse box,, it isnt too bad to get out,, the plugs on the GEM module can be a pain in the ***. But the sad reality is if you want to get the Park brake contoller out that is what has to be done

Putting a new cable in an old unit is a pain in the ***, most of the time when i replace them i am installing a new controller and cable so it goes in as one unit. If i remember right you have to wind it and set a pin in it and then you can attach the new cable. The new units come pre wound and after you hook up all the cables you pull the pin.
