My Explorer axle has been under my truck for about a year. I want to hook up some e-brakes. I searched around without much luck. What do you guys use to get a cable to reach the passenger side? Would a new cable from a 2010 and up work since they have disc brakes?

I know a line lock would work but I prefer a mechanical brake and something that will hold over a period of time.

Thanks

 

on my 95, i used the explorer e-brake cables that are on the axle, and connected them to the ranger e-brake cable under the cab. they connect together around the driver's front leaf spring mount.

 

bump for an old thread, anyone have pics of how their ebrake cables are hooked up?

 

Im currious about this also. It would be kinda nice to have an e brake again its only been over 6 years.

 

posted in mikes build thread asking for some.

 

Hook it up just like that. It was working great on that axle. It was difficult to get enough slack to hook them together. I had to pull it tight as hell and clamp it off to get them connected.

 

they hook up just like the factory ranger ones do. right in front of the driver's front leaf spring hanger.

 

Hmmm did i get the ebrake cables with the axle? No that you mention it i think I did but cant remember what i did with them when i took them off to clean it up. I want to say that they were rusted and looked like they wouldnt work but i maybe thinking about the ones off my axle. I know that I would have to replace the line coming from the cab though too.
