Parking brake cable replacement
I am trying to replace my intermediate parking brake cable. However, I do not have enough slack in it to slip the cable end into the connector. Is there a tension adjustment somewhere? I looked at the foot pedal in the cab and in the brake drum but I do not see anything and my Haynes manual is no help!

My edition of the Haynes manual does not have parking brake info in that section. All it tells me is that 92 and later trucks have an auto-tension system and that there is no adjustment. All I need is about an inch of slack so that I can slip the new cable and connector into the existing system. ???

My 94 has the cable coming out of the cab. Then, a connector that attaches to the intermediate cable. The intermediate cable runs back to a 3-way connector bracket that has 2 cables coming out of it, 1 to each rear wheel. The problem is that I don't have enough slack to slip the cable ends into the connectors.
