1985 318i drum brakes.
I'm redoing my subframe and removing the p-brake cable from the backing plate looks trivial - it moves around just fine and is not overly corroded, but a collar/keeper is preventing it just slipping out the back like the clymer manual says.
So I searched and g-damnitt the way my parking brake cable passes through my backing plate is nothing like any of the photos or diagrams I can find. I can see all sorts of trouble people are having - but none match mine.
Hopefully you can see the photo attached - the question I have is whether I can/should destroy the keeper that is preventing me from pulling the cable out the back, or if is there a trick of some kind.
thanks
