thats alright then, i only need to swap over the fronts with a spare set i recond. the rears go like troopers anyway, i suppose the rears never had much use in my vehicle, mainly front passengers in its day. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i did this today, i spent the entire day more or less trying to get the cable back onto the pulleys- and still havent' got it done. I drew a diagram and everything, but **** just keeps getting tangled around the rotating main wheel. How do i overcome this? It's so frustrating i worked so ****ing hard at it lol now all i got are cut up hands and a window that is jammed up with a screwdriver so i can still park it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i can scan the manual if you need it. shows where the rear wire runs and in what order to reconnect all the brackets etc to prevent tangles.
