Hey y’all. Swapping in a 8.25. I absolutely destroyed the round retainer clip on the inside holding the e brake cable in place. Does anyone know what they are called? Where can I get them?

I believe it's part of the cable itself and not sold separately. Rockauto has the cables. Amazon will likely have them too.

Sounds like a ziptie job then.

I am not sure what it looks like. You might look at this and see if it is similar....

That clip is a part of the cable. A replacement cable is easily bought or sourced from the junkyard. I think a 13mm sized wrench ,closed side, pushed over the clip will allow it to come out.

Don't buy Chinese.
Bruin brake cables

Highly recommended.
