Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair

Parking Brake Cable Tension Release

1. With an assistant, release the parking brake cable tension by pulling down on the front cable at the cable-to-cable union until the parking brake control sector rotates to its stop and a 4 mm (0.15 in) x 150 mm (5.9 in) retainer pin can be inserted.





2. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

3. NOTE: Make sure that the cable-to-cable union is connected to the front and rear cable before removing the brake control retaining pin and that the cable tension is reloaded slowly.
Disconnect the cable at the cable-to-cable union by releasing the locking tab.
