im changing blend door actuator motor. dash is loose and i think the only thing holding me up is the brake cable. theres a "union" under car that connects front and middle cable. can i pry that apart and pull my dash out enough to workbehind dash/in front of firewall, or maybe drill rivets that hold e brake assy to dash? any suggestions would be helpful. thanks p.s. undoing cable from pedal assy doesn't accomplish what i need.

You should be able to take a bolt out of the park brake and leave it in the car. The only mention of it in the Ford manual says, Remove one nut retaining lower LH instrument panel to cowl and one retaining parking brake control to half car beam.
