I found this link for setting the tension on the e brake pedal.

See this link:http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us...rInfoPages.htm.

Now hoping someone can help me out.

I just bought my 1998 B4000 ( same as ranger) and the front cable was disconnected from the e-brake pedal (previous owner) cause the rear lines were completley siezed.

I have tried to install the "knob" on the end of the cable where I think it should go in the pedal , but the knob keeps falling out. It's very frustrating because removing the brake pedal assembly each time is tough.

Can someone tell me if there is a clip or something that is supposed to hold the end of the cable on to the mechanism?
I can't find anything on the net, or in my manual and the local Ford parts dealer has no details of this.

I'm stumped.

Hoping some can have a look and show a photo or something.

Thanks

Len

No Chris. I even tried tack welding it with a light tack, but the knob rotates a bit in the hole when the brake is pushed and it busts the tack.

I think part of the problem is I am not setting up the pretension properly, and the cable goes slack when i release it.

I was going to try a grip style washer, but wondered what the factory install uses.
