to remove emergency brake cables from rear axle, do i have to take apart all of the springs etc inside the drum? or where the single cable "splits" and becomes two? removing axle from jeep to work on it, want to take apart as little as i have to.

edit:
nevermind, found this link https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ removing-e-brake-lines-118301/ so i'll just take apart the drums

My 93 4.0 with AW4 stumbles when cold as soon as I touch the gas, after she's warm everything seems fine and always idles good, even cold. Just a PITA the first few stops on way to work in mornings.
It just started to do this Wednesday, so far I have cleaned the TB,TPS, and just cleaned the IAT. Haven't been able to test it yet cold with the clean IAT, who knows, might be fixed. But any other suggestion to try?

Here's an easy test for one possibility: Unplug the Coolant Temperature Sensor. If it runs well without it, replace your CTS.

Thanks NKC, will be my next test in morning if the IAT cleaning did nothing. Didn't even think about that having anything to do with cold running.

If it's your first time drilling a particular hole go slow and use lots of lube. It takes a while and it's messy but gives results.

(slow enough so you get metal shavings)

I answered in the dash light mod thread too. Just pull it. Takes some muscle.

Does anyone have experience with the full remand heads from Oriellys or autozone? I'm debating on buying on vs having to wait for mine at a shop to get done when I do the head gasket.

If I press them out a little tiny bit, so that about half of the one channel is covered, they move like I expect them to. I'm assuming they're manufactured properly. I've been putting grease in as I go as I keep taking these things apart to fit them. I'm having the same problem on both the passenger and driver side shafts, tried both squeezing and spreading the yoke ears (verified with a caliper). Can too much grease cause this? Maybe it's the paint I put on? Didn't seem like much. I'm annoyed enough I'm considering grinding away the necessary metal to get the clips in.

Typical lucky me
Anyone else ever run into this issue?
