I just installed mine this weekend as well. There may be other opinions, but here is what I did:
* I took the retainer clamp and pried it open wide enough to fit over the solid metal piece of the cable. I did this with one side in a vise and used a pry bar to open it open.
* Once I put it back in the Blazer and got it over that solid metal piece of the cable, I used channelock pliers to close it back down enough to get the retainer bolt started.
* Then, tightened it all up - no more slippage.
Keep in mind the cable slides inside that sheath, so you can position it around a little bit to get it where you want it.
Now, If I did it wrong, someone can correct me and help us both!
BTW - does anyone have a source for the return spring on the ebrake assembly? My PO must've thought those were optional - I don't have one.
