Parking Brake Control Tension Release
REMOVAL
1. Relieve tension on the system by having an assistant pull directly rearward on the intermediate or front parking brake cable and conduit, being
careful not to damage the coating on the parking brake cable strand, while you insert a 5/32-inch drill bit or equivalent into the hole provided in
the parking brake control.
2. Raise the vehicle and remove the hub cap, wheel and brake drum.
3. Disconnect the parking brake rear cable and conduit to be replaced from the parking brake cable equalizer.
4. Compress the prongs that retain the parking brake rear cable and conduit housing to the frame bracket by using a 1/2-inch 12-point box end
wrench.
5. With the spring tension off the parking brake lever, lift the parking brake rear cable and conduit out of the slot in the lever, and remove the parking
brake rear cable and conduit through the brake backing plate hole.
Rear Parking Brake Cable
6. Working on the wheel side, compress the prongs on the rear parking brake cable retainer (2A709) so they can pass through the hole in the brake
backing plate (2211). Draw the rear parking brake cable retainer out of the hole.
INSTALLATION
1. Push the parking brake rear cable and conduit through the brake backing plate and through the routing clip (if present) until the end of the parking
brake rear cable and conduit is inserted through the slot in the parking brake lever.
2. Pull the excess slack from the parking brake rear cable and conduit and insert the parking brake rear cable and conduit into the brake backing plate
access hole until the retainer prongs expand.
3. Insert the front end of the parking brake rear cable and conduit through the frame bracket until the prong expands.
4. Install the brake drum, wheel, and hub cap, and adjust the rear brake shoes.
5. Remove the drill bit from the parking brake control to tension the system.
6. Cycle the parking brake control three times to verify the parking brake control unit is functioning properly.
