How the hell do you connect these? Disconnected to put in my axles and now i have no clue.

 

you can use some vise grips on the cable to get leverage on them and pull them together.

 

Pull the handle under the dash to release it.

 

the pedal is not pushed in

 

I knew that.... I'm frickin HILLLAARRRRRIIOUS.

If 1FastBrick says that, I'd believe him. I probably would have taken it all off from the back, connected it, and worked backwards putting it back on; but I'm just talking out of my ***.



On my 02, that single cable end going to the rear is an adjustable nut that gets tightened to spec.

 

On my 2003 SD the cable going to the front was caught up on something which made connecting the two parts impossible. Once we traced that back towards the engine bay, we found the snag and were able to free it up for more play. Maybe give that a shot.

 

I finally got it just had to muscle it. It was a tight fit though.

 

That's what she said.

 

put your purse down and man up. it's tight but it will go back with some effort.

 

Yes, I kept dropping my purse.
