Using a suitable cutoff tool, remove 11-13 mm from the end of the kickout tab on the self-adjust paw.
Remove any burrs. See Figure 6.
CAUTION
Drill through the top metal surface only. Do not drill through the entire control assembly.
4.
On 2001 model year vehicles, locate the center punch mark on the side of the control assembly.
Drill a 4.4 mm (5/32-inch) hole at the center punch mark.
5.
Thoroughly clean all metal shavings and grinding/drilling debris from the control assembly.
6.
Apply Ford LEAD-FREE Multi-Purpose Grease Spray (F5AZ-19G209-AA) or equivalent to the control assembly self-adjuster pawl and sector.

Reinstall the handle cover (1994-2000 model year vehicles).

INSTALLATION
1.
Insert the parking brake cable barrel into the hole in the self-adjuster reel, then route the cable around the reel.
2.
Position the control assembly in the car by sliding the rear mounting tab under the console support bracket then line up the front mounting tab with
the bolt hole.
3.
Install the bolts. While holding the control assembly as far rearward as possible, tighten the bolts to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft).
WARNING
KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT INJURY.
CAUTION
Do not remove the lockpin without first making sure the parking brake cable is properly connected to the control assembly. Pin removal
releases the tension in the ratchet wheel causing the spring to unwind and release tension. If the pin is removed without the cable properly
connected, the entire assembly must be removed to reset the cable tension.
4.
Remove the lockpin.
CAUTION
The torque specification on the self-tapping screw is very low. Do not use power tools to tighten this screw. Do not overtighten the self-tapping
screw or the threads in the hole will strip. If this occurs, the entire control assembly must be replaced.
