Parking Brake Cable: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
- Discard output cable retaining clip and tension equalizer after removing it from the park brake output cable. A new tension equalizer and retaining clip is to be used when installing a new rear park brake cable.

- A new cable tension equalizer must be installed when replacing a rear park brake cable. The new cable tension equalizer is required to correctly adjust park brake cable tension after installing a new rear park brake cable.

- A new retainer must be used when installing the park brake mechanism output cable on the cable tension equalizer. Cable retainer usage is required to ensure output cable can not separate from tension equalizer.

NOTE:
- The park brake cable routing and routing brackets are different on the right and left side of the vehicle.
