Parking brake cable removal, hub removal.

[DaveE]

I'm doing rear bearings, control arms and struts on my '97 Boxster and having trouble with the parking brake cables. Does anyone have any advice? I looked for Glynn on RennTech and it seems he hasn't been there for a while.

Thanks in advance

Dave, I replaced mine about a month ago and choose not to mess with the parking brake cable so I left the hubs in place and removed/installed the bearings using a Harbor Freight bearing removing kit, it's actually pretty straight forward as long as you reinstall the bearings facing the right way… (so you won't loose the ABS)

Did you do rear bearings with the HF tool? I thought I'd previously heard about it being used for the fronts.
