I replaced my rear brake cables on my '93 Ranger 4x4 with 10" brakes. Rock Auto didn't have both in the same brand so I got a WAGNER BC14344 left cable and RAYBESTOS BC94740 right cable. After replacing them and hooking the right cable into the connector and passing the left cable through the connector. The cable barrel is falling short of meeting the front cable barrel by three inches or so, with a new front connector. I took a picture before I tore it all apart and it's obvious the original left cable "stick out" was longer by an inch or two, maybe stretch difference? I have pulled the front cable and can feel spring tension as I pull. It hits a positive stop and won't pull no more. I'm not sure if the left cable is too short or the front is not coming out all the way? The barrel on the end of the front cable at the parking brake pedal is about the 9:00 position in the adjuster when pulled. I'm not sure if it needs to unwind some more? Any thoughts?
Thanks!
