Thanks.
I am having trouble releasing the cable at the tensioner. How does this work? Just keep turning the threaded rod attached to the end of the cable…. this is the piece that threads into the tensioner. Seems as I turn it the cable just seems to get twisted and this makes it harder and harder to un-thread it .. Know of any videos that show how to do this ?
Thanks….Thanks.

Thanks….Thanks !!! You guys are awesome. I think I am armed with enough information now to be dangerous… I will probably get to this job on Thursday.. this gives me an excuse to get out my ’84 Mazda RX7 or my ’71 Chevelle convertible [ with the gas guzzling 454 big block ] and drive them for a couple of days since they usually sit in the garage ….. But I do like my Ponti GTP too …. I will fill you guys in on any special steps needed for this job on this particular car model…. Thanks again, And Stay Dirty…

JTF, Thanks…. It is the high performance GTP Comp G model. So sounds like from your reply I will need to remove the e-brake cable. My main unknown right now is how do I do that? Do I have to mess around with that rusty old tensioner adjustment assembly over where the cable from the front ties into the 2 wheel cables… or do I simply unbolt the caliper move it the right way and wiggle the ball end of the wheel cable out of it ? Keep in mind one of my two main symptoms right now is an e-brake pedal that will not depress… When I have someone try I can see the cable from the front slide out of its sheath slightly, but neither of the wheel cables budge ….. Thanks again .
