Long long ago............
a shop crushed the sheathing over my front parking brake cable when lifting the van by the frame causing a lot of resistance, and as a result the cable did not always fully retract and the parking brake lever would rattle.
Finally measured and ordered a replacement, 138".
Installed it today. Hardest part was getting the old firewall grommett out and reinstalling it on the new cable without damaging it. Silicone spray and some Syl-glide worked and cleaned it up nicely too.
I also bedded in my brake pads to my new brembo rotors by getting them really hot doing some higher speed emergency stops down to 20mph.
Then went surfing. Had it to myself. Felt sharky haha.
