Emerg brake cable...
99.5 SD,250,7.3,6 spd.The stop on the cockpit end of the cable came off and cable feathered.Will I just buy a forward cable section or will I have to buy rears also? Is there a step by step anywhere on this site.Thanx.

Not having a 99.5 SD in front of me, all I can say is almost every Ford (RWD - drum brakes) I worked on had a front cable, then it went to an adjuster and off the adjuster comes the rear cable.
Easy enough to search on Advance Auto to find them.

u dont know if u have drum or disc? look through the wheel, u can see which it is.
if its shiny, its disc. dull, dirty, rusty, its drum.
but most had disc.

> I'd been had when previous message said all RWD had drums.
That is not what I typed, just how you read it. I was telling you the type that usually had the cable setup I described was -> (RWD- drum brakes).
So ... did you go to Advance and get a new front cable?
If you need instructions you will find the Haynes manual the better of what is cheap and they sell it at Advance.
