Took a closer look at the parking brake cables on the 2011 in preparation for the semiannual preventative maintenence and replacing of things going bad.
The cables connect to a stubby cable that runs through the backing plate. So, I won't have to partially remove the axles like I thought I would.
The boots going into the backing plate did pop out. So, I'll have to address that. They wouldn't press in easily by hand. So, some silicone spray and some tools are probably going to be needed to do the job. We are going to have rain all day. That's going to postpone getting that done a bit.
