Remember me guys the totaled L6 anyway I have been taking apart the rear trailing arm and found a blue cable/tube and it is too dark right now to see how it disconnects from the wheel hub. Question is what is it? It is not brake line and I don't see how it could be ABS but I could be wrong if anyone knows what it is and what I need to do to disconnect It would certainly help me. and maybe one day my six will roll again. Thanks

I guess parking brake too.

It looks like you have to take the hub off to get to the pin that affixes the parking brake cable to the brake actuator. Can you tell if there is a cable inside a sheath on the wheel end of the object in question?

well good news and bad got the car running back on the road but the damage to the quarter panel is such it might just be too much to have fixed in the neighborhood of 6 grand. It only has 112k miles on it and a year ago put 5 grand into the chassis How much would an engine swap cost roughly?
Thanks
