My E-Brake cable's busted-`

[LostNcrRanger]

Time for another stupid question thread!

 

Does anyone know offhand if the e-brake cable is different between Disc,and drum brake equipped pathfinders?

 

Thanks in advance.

my front one (from the handle) is off a drum brake truck but the rears are disc/drum pacific. I think there is a little difference between years or something as well since my one didn't 'completly' line up how it secures to the truck floorboard...

So, one's from the Pacific coast and the other is from the Atlantic coast?

So it's a two piece unit? That would help me diagnose better where it broke.

There is one front cable from the lever to the middle of the underside of the truck, then there are two cables joined near there. One goes to each rear wheel. I believe both rear ones are the same if you only have RWD, but that the right one is different if you have 4WD with a manual transmission (according to the rock auto listing). Not sure what auto trucks have. Probably best to bring yours for comparison. I'm not sure I'd get them from the junkyard though. Mine seem to be seized currently, but not broken. You don't want that. When I pull the lever it still does something, but I think the inner cable is supposed to move in the housing and i don't think it is... at least on one side.

Good point.
