An automotive parking brake cable and lever removing tool includes a prying device secured to one of the handle members of a locking pliers. The prying device has a lever arm that pivots with respect to the locking plier handle member to cause movement of a bifurcated blade-like end portion of the lever arm away from the clamping jaws of the locking pliers. In one embodiment the lever arm of the prying device is coextensive with the locking plier handle members. In another embodiment the prying device includes a fixed arm immovably secured to the locking pliers intermediate the locking plier handle member and the movable lever arm. The lever arm and fixed arm of the prying device extend a predetermined amount beyond the end portions of the locking plier handle members. In another embodiment, a cavity or recess is provided in the spring-engaging face of the bifurcated blade-like end portion of the prying device to securely engage a parking brake cable spring during use of the tool.
