I have always used a pair of vise grips to compress the sleeve and twist it enough to get a pry bar on the back of the sleeve. Mark the sleeve where it needs to be cut then remove it. The sleeve has a slight taper to hold it tightly in the k member when it is seated. Once you get it started it comes out pretty easily.On the parking brake issue. My Ford service manual says that the cable is self adjusting. I have had my E brake cable off many times but have never pulled the laver when they were off. I can only suggest that you make sure the cable is all the way seated into the caliper. Hopefully some of the other guys have some experience. Good luck!</blockquote>
