The rearend came with optional Ford Explorer disc brakes, which use cables completely different from the typical drum-brake style cables the factory rearend used. What to do? I found that Lokar Performance Products offers a set of high-tech parking cables made special for the Ford Explorer brakes. The problem is the way the cable hooks to the Foot Operated operated brake setup. Has any one else completed this swap? The way the cables are universal but appear to be more designed for a GM/Ford application.

Or am I missing something ?
