I have a 67 coupe. I'm trying to remove the parking brake cable from the dust shield on the drum brake. It has clip that on one end has multi finger tangs that keeps the cable from pulling out through the dust shield, the other end of the clip is crimped around the spring on the cable. I can't figure out how to remove the clip so that I can remove the cable. I don't want to cut the clip off if I don't have to. Any help on this is appreciated.
Pete

Open up a small hose clamp and place it over the fingers at the brake drum and screw it tight ,leave enough room on the fingers to allow them to go through the hole ,loosen the hose clamp and pull the cable through.

Or just use the box end of a wrench.
