The driveshaft answer is yes take the four bolts off the yoke and put a screwdriver between the yoke and the cross and pry lightly and they will seperate.

The e-brake cable release is inside the brake itself. Remove a drum and you will see the attachment point. If you don't have a lift then the stock cables will be fine. It is with a lift that they become tight.

Woot Woot!! Finally got the Chryco swapped in. Took me all damn day, but I finally licked it. Thanks to all you guys that helped me out and gave me tips. Sorry, I didn't take pics as we went, therefor no right up. I do have a question though. After we got it on tightened everything up, we went to bleed the breaks and now my breaks feel a little spongy. Is this due to the change from 10" drums to 9". We bled all 4 atleast 6 times and pedal is still a little soft. It breaks good, just a little soft. Any thoughts?
