Finally bought two of the rubber bellows that fit onto the rear end of the parking brake cables, next to the calipers. The cables are in place but cannot figure out how on earth to get the bellows over the much larger end clasp - or even the smaller hole on the other end could ever get over the clasp (with the cables in place there isn’t much geometry to assist leverage).
Any tips or tricks to doing this? See pics.   |

Dont forget to install they cable first before the bellows. I dont think the cable will fit through the trailing arm with the bellows already installed.
Also, have a beer after. They were a real B&$%#. Great kit though @Mikey914 914rubber |
