Do you mean your replacing the front cable??
It a real tough job to get the cable into the foot bracket
You need to take the cable off the equalizer first, then run the cable thru the bottom of the cab, hook up to the parking brake foot bracket, then reattach the cable to the equalizer, and tighten up the nut, it you have that, I know the newer E's only use the cables, and a return spring.
Also, if you pull the wheel cable out some, and clamp a vice grip to the cable to hold it out (pulling the return springs in the drums) that will help give you some slack to hook up the cables at the equalizer.
Also, where the cable housing attaches, with the spring clip, you can use a small hose clamp around the clips to collapse them, to help in pulling the cable housing out of the mounting hole.
