I have a first gen X I am in the process of putting a body lift on, I've got everything mostly ready to start jacking up the body but I can't get this parking brake off for the life of me. My instructions say:
"Release parking brake. Remove front parking brake cable from the bracket that splits to both rear wheels. Pull front cable and rear cable together. The front cable with slide out of the bracket. Remove parking brake cable from frame mount under driver's side front door."
I know it's that little box type thing on the parking brake, but I've pulled as much slack as possible (by using some vise grips to hold it against a body mount) and used pliers and my hands in addition to liquid wrench and I can't get it to get loose from the box thing. Any advice? The body lift is going great but this is the only thing holding me up.
