LGTmakes3 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Like many here, I had to replace a rear hub bearing. Due to the excessive rust, I ordered a backing plate, shoes, hardware kit, pads and rotor. All is going fine except that while installing the parking brake cable to the backing plate, the tiny spring steel retainer clip flew away, never to be found. Trying to find out if this is a stand alone part or part of an assemble. I have a email into Benny at Subarupartsonline but being Sunday, I doubt that I'll hear back today. Any tips on installing that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Is it this part ? 26042B CLAMP-HAND BRAKE CABLE got that from here , https://parts.suburbansubaru.com/a/Subaru_2006_Legacy-GT-Limited-Sedan-25L-TURBO-5MT-4WD/_54106_6028084/PARKING-BRAKE-SYSTEM/B13-260-01.html A place like NAPA may have something like that. Not sure what that holds, but would a small gas line clamp work ? To keep the cable from backing out ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

LGTmakes3 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thanks Max Cap, It's actually 26042AA030 There is a slot in the backing plate that the spring enters ad fits around a groove in the parking brake cable so I don't think I can substitute anything else. Thanks again for your quick reply!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yes, that's the complete part number in the link I sent. Would a zip tie work for the short term ? It's not like you use that brake while the car is in motion. Check the local auto parts stores. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

LGTmakes3 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 It is a super tight fit hence the trouble getting it back in place. Also, it's in an awkward place to get to once the backing plate is mounted. I'll check the parts stores and if they don't have it, the dealers is 5 minutes from my house.

LGTmakes3 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have the new clip but I can't get it installed. With the clip in the notch of the backing plate, the cable won't pass through. With the cable in place, the clip won't pass through the slot. I have as much time in dealing with this $2 POS clip as I do in the whole tear down. Anyone that's replaced the the backing plate or eBrake cable has dealt with this item. Need to get the car on the road...been 3 weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTmakes3 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks, it does help for the entire assembly procedure but nothing specific as to the clamp. Still hoping someone will chime in as to how it's supposed to fit. I'll have time as no dealer in my area has one. What BS!! I'll be calling Benny at subaru parts online later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I should have thought to check out mine earlier today. I was under car a put the stock mufflers back on for the Winter time. I did look things over while I was under the car but never thought to check out the cable and clip. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
