So replace the parking brake control assembly which includes the pedal? When I press the pedal to the down position there is still slack. Service info says to "stroke" the pedal a few times, but you have to release it after each stroke, so it gives back the cable.

I have to give it to you guys were as you have the patience to figure it all out and try to save parking brakes. I replaced my rear brakes,drums and have manual, so wanted to get all hooked back up. On the driver side just wizz wheeled the end nub off to continue, couldnt deal w/ it. Other side managed to leave and works fine w/ one side hooked up. Would need to buy new side and do it again, but oh well..darn brake cable stuff never goes back on the same w/ any ease.
