Hand brake? I thought the last GMC with a hand brake was in 68, but I could be wrong.
how do you fix a vauxhall astra hand break cable
Your GMC Suburban emergency brake release cable is held in place with a swivel nut on each end of the cable. Loosen the swivel nut to remove the cable. Reverse the process to install the new emergency brake release cable.
This is what I did with my 79 Chevy Malibu when the release handle broke off (the little cable it was attached to broke).I found out that the "cable" that broke off in my hand when I pulled the release, wasn't the actual parking brake cable, it was just the release cable. It is only a few inches long and it does attach to the brake mechanism under the dash but it's not the actual brake cable.So i looked way under the left lower dash to see how the parking brake pedal was connected, and carefully tried a few things to see if i could pull on it and make it disengage. Yes there was a little metal part close to the pedal arm base, that is about 1/2 inch rectangle sticking out to the side. it has a little slit in the center of it, maybe that is where the release cable used to go. So when I pulled back on that little half- inch rectangle, it did release the brake pedal. Then I was able to drive.So if anybody thinks your emergency brake won't work when the release cable breaks off in your hand, that may not be factual. You might still have the parking brake, just need to replace the handle and the little short release cable for the interior of the car. So you can RELEASE the brake in the normal way. But please check it out really well to find out for sure!

Fix the emergency brake
Take out the hand brake and replace it
Electronic brake. Like the hand brake which has a physical cable that you pull tight, the e-brake locks the rear wheels.
To replace the brake cable on a bike, first, release the brake lever and remove the old cable. Next, thread the new cable through the housing and attach it to the brake caliper. Adjust the tension of the cable and test the brakes to ensure they are working properly.
