    Your exhaust should be resting on the cable. The cable goes under the exhaust

    I got rear cables from NAPA and they ended up being a little shorter than what I needed. All I had to do was lengthen the equalize lever rod and the cable holder a couple inches and my parking brakes work like new again.
