I received my rear WilWood brakes. Note how the emergency brake cable comes in at the 6 o'clock position which would cause the cable to bend/sweep 90 * (Deg) towards the front of the truck
Below shows the factory setup.

The next pic shows an allen-head bolt that comes out and allows you to clock/rotate the "fixed" end that holds the emergency cable (current position is 6 o'clock) I believe it should be more around the 3 o'clock position so the cable will point forward vs down at the ground and would eliminate the 90* bend.
Here's the allen-head closeup

Then, the arm that moves towards the fixed end when the emergency cable is set to "park", the arm would pull towards the fixed end and set the brake. The moveable arm is held in place with a 13mm bolt.

My question is when the 13mm bolt is removed from the swing arm, will the arm pull off so I can rotate it counter clockwise to match the counter clockwise rotation of the fixed arm?
Thx Mark
