Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair
Park Brake Cable Replacement (Front)
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
Notice: Use care when performing service operations on or around parking brake cables. Damage to the plastic coating will reduce corrosion
protection and if the damaged area passes through the seal, increased parking brake effort could result. Contacting the coating with sharp-edged
tools, or with sharp surfaces of the vehicle underbody, should be avoided.
