[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1572155, member: 14668"] The cable is under maximum tension when the brake lever is half way between being engaged and disengaged. The slot in the lever where the cable attaches to acts as a cam, with the high point on the cam being halfway through the arc that the lever makes when pulled on. If it snaps, its going to snap while you are setting the brake, and you [B]will[/B] notice it because there will suddenly be zero tension on the lever and it will no longer remain in position. The only "side" I am on is that of being honest and doing the safe and correct thing. Knowingly driving a UPS package car with an inoperable emergency brake is neither. [/QUOTE]
