My 8.25 is shot so I got one from a junkyard. In a few days I am actually transferring it over, to remove the emergency brake lines, are any special tools needed? Thanks.

box end wrench, 7/16th maybe. just something that fits tightly enough to compress the fingers on the end of the cable.

No, nothing special should be needed. Just run of the mill tools should do it.
