Put on the cable anyway. Got it all hooked up on both ends, put the Torx(rusty) back on to hold the cable in place, and the brake cable slides nicely.

I took my trusty 7/8 wrench and slid it over the back plastic dirt/water cover and hammered away. I think it is in place.

There was a rivit hold on the cable to attach it to the suspension arm. The Scam Disk cable was an inch shorter between the Torx screw and the drum than OEM, so that attachment can no longer be made. Pity, as I have a pop gun and rivit. I guess I will RTV the hole to keep dirt and water out.

I will put the parking shoes on after dinner...
