Installing a parking brake release handle.The old cable isn't there but someone pushed the emergency brake pedal so far down I can't get to release.I was trying to pull back on the lever where the end of the cable would go into to release it but it didn't do anything.Does anyone know how I can release it so I can put the new cable on, And does anyone know how I would take the whole assembly out if need be, it looks like to me I would maybe have to take the fender off to get to some bolts but I am not sure.So if anyone has any experience with these Silverado's I would appreciate it.

you can pull on the release lever manually to release the parking brake. it will be stiff with the pressure but will release.

it has 3 attaching bolts under the dash, not outside. you should be able to connect the release cable without releasing the tension.
