1990 740GL Regina (4,10 rear end!)
Hey, folks. I got my rear axle swapped out almost completely, but the emergency brake cable is not routed right. It's about 1/2 inch too short. I absolutely hate these things and have a bad time with them every time.
How does the cable need to be routed from the left/right junction to the body hole? Does anyone have photos? I got told to do it in a rush and forgot to snap any photos.
Also, I found an effective cleaner for the differential label! First, mild scraping with a plastic putty knife to get the 1/4 inch of oil down to a few mm. Then either Gojo type smooth (not pumice!) type hand cleaner or the Gel type engine degreaser left to sit on the car for a week or two. Then I used some soft cloth to wipe it clean, NOT swirling it because any trapped abrasives will tear up the print. A stream of water might wash off the gunk better without any scratching.
