Need photo of the cable attachment at the passenger side parking brake cable at the actuator behind the wheel. Forgot to take photo and can't remember which way the hook attaches.

This what you need?
Shot from behind and below the axle, it's just the opposite of the driver's side. Hook goes in from under.

Lifesaver!!
Dummy took photos of all except the tip of the cable at the actuator...

Looks like I have more cleanup from rainy, muddy Kebler Pass adventure. Apparently the car wash bottom blaster didn't work all that good.

My spring seems to be more sprung.
Cable adjustment is too tight. The other side of the lever that's being pulled should be close to the backing plate with the parking brake released.
EDIT: it looks like I saw that wrong. The other end IS close to the backing plate. When it's like that can you turn the RR wheel freely?

It seems to turn OK. No unusual sounds like rubbing when driving.
The ends of the cable at the equalizer were slightly different, so the equalizer bracket was not vertically straight like I thought it was. I got the three cables on and attached.
After half a day off from work and three solid nights after work, it is at my guy's shop now to mess with it. I have grip with foot off brake, but moves when I touch the gas. That is one of the requirements for MA RMV inspection, to bump the RPM to 1200-1300 RPM and have it hold tight.
I think I am close. Just need the right adjustments made.
Thanks for the photo in my "Oh, S_IT" moment!!!
I am usually pretty sure to get photos of thing before the come apart. I guess I assumed that cable end was simple enough. Which it is, if you can remember what it looked like before ripping the part out!!
Mine is essentially the same -- holds at idle but not with a bit of rpm. I have new front and intermediate cables to replace, whenever I get around to it.
