If you use gloves, it will work on my 97 TJ but be aware this tool is very thin and can dig into your hand if you squeeze it so wear gloves when using it.
As I recall I had an 05' Chevy Cavalier at the time.
For my Saturn Ion of 2004, I used it. In almost all GM vehicles after 2000 the Returm spring is the same kind. You should be able to use it.
The hose can still be connected to the caliper, but room may be an issue, especially if the caliper is mounted to the bracket or if the brake hose is still connected to the caliper. Most of the time it is required to remove it from the bracket at least. A second set of pliers is always used to manipulate the end of the cable before I slide those into the hole, then I extend the cable out, and then I use the two together to pop it It is not an easy task to pull e-mails, but there are a few ways to do it An easy way to get to the brake cables is to simply detach the rear parking brake mount from the back of the caliper. The time savings will, of course, apply only if a caliper needs to be replaced.

A POSI was required to remove a parking brake cable on my 1980 Camaro. To remove the parking brake lever, you should use this tool to compress the spring and compress the Basically, we didn't have a chance of getting this to work with one No space was available for it in the spring's front. The end of the cable was clamped in using a vise grip, the spring was slid back with the other hand, then the tool was inserted into the gap between the springs with the help of a helper. The spring was then compressed and I was able to remove the lever once it was in.
In the end, I was successful, but it took me a couple dozen tries. With out a tool like this, I cannot imagine how I would complete this task.
The quality of this tool is poor. There is also a problem with the thin, weak metal used in its manufacture. A handie is ill-designed, as if you spread the handles apart, the mechanical advantage of the handie is lost, and they become difficult to grip. The product is not one I recommend or would.
With the aid of pliers or a wooden block, I was always able to compress the parking brake cable spring by hand. It was the strong short spring on my Buick that had me in a bind. I thank you for saving my life with this. Even though I may not require it for all brake jobs, it proved to be a necessity this time. I pinched my fingers and tried every pair of pliers in my toolbox, but could not get this I used to get by without one in the past, but this system made it so easy, I wish I had purchased one years.
The spring was too tight for me to drive with one hand, and even if I did, I did not have a second set of hands. This thing, however, is like a surgeon's hand that has the ability to go right to the issue and tackle the problem with ease and precision. In fact, I made a mistake by putting the cable on the wrong way (my fault). However, this tool made it easy to fix. The $14 I paid for this could be the best $14 I've spent on any tool in a very long time. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to compress the spring on an emergency brake cable, I cannot recommend this tool enough to you. Please understand that I was changing the driver's side brake drum on a Toyota Corolla LE 2009 at the time.
I must have tried every tool in my arsenal to compress the emergency brake spring, but failed. I must have spent 3 hours on this. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble the drum thanks to this tool. You need the right tool for the job, as the saying goes!.
I love how easy it is to use for my stupid brake cable on my Chevy. Without this tool, it was hard to do the shoes. After watching a few videos, I came to the conclusion An example of how this tool was used is given below. Then I thought, sure, I'll have a go at it. Even though I could use pliers and wash a cat, this is a whole lot easier to do (to do the brake job, not sure if I should use anything on.
It was exactly what I had been looking for for a few weeks. Thus far, I have only found the closest thing for $90 (I won't probably need it in the future). I tried it with Prime over night and it worked perfectly. The Chrysler Cirrus LXI I have is a 1998 model. By yourself, you will not be able to retract the EB cable spring. With this Universal emergency brake tool, it is possible to do so. Since I'm never going to work on a car again that has drum brakes, I likely won't use it again. As for my own cars, I just work on them for myself. Thanks for the message I am very happy.
