Thank you in advance for your help. Dealer said I needed all new rear brakes. Independent mechanic (who is awesome) said I only needed a bolt to help secure the emergency brake cable. Apparently, the bolt is stripped/not pulling the cable anymore. I have a picture of it but cannot find it...

Thank you so much for your help. I was a bit concerned that I was looking at an expensive part. I really appreciate your quick replies and the education. Love this forum.
