I need help with running the parking brake cable to the pedal in side the cab. My old cable snapped off @ the pedal, and I have no idea how to run the new cable, and get the pedal to engage and disengage. Also if there is a trick to getting the cable attached easier. Because I have slack but it looks like it is going to take a giant to pull the cable and connect it to the rear link.

If it's the front cable, some systems are three-piece, I think there's just the cable connector, which you can pry open and insert the cable end, not talking about the cabin end.. you may need a small hose clamp to wrap around the spikey ears that ford uses to hold the cable at the cabin entry, also make sure you back all adjustments off, you should have plenty of slack, providing the cable sysytem is working smoothly..
