Park Brake Cable Replacement
Removal Procedure
Tools Required
J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool
Notice: Handling the parking brake cables during service requires extra care. Damage to the nylon coating reduces the corrosion protection. If the
damage area passes through the nylon coating, increased parking brake effort could result. Avoid contacting the protective coating with sharp-edge tools
or the sharp surfaces of the vehicle underbody.
1. Disable the parking brake cable adjuster. Refer to Parking Brake Cable Adjuster Disabling (See: Procedures/Parking Brake Cable Adjuster
Disabling).
2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair).
3. Remove the rear propeller shaft. Refer to Rear Propeller Shaft Replacement (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Drive/Propeller Shafts, Bearings
and Joints/Drive/Propeller Shaft/Service and Repair/Rear Propeller Shaft Replacement).
4. Remove the park brake cables from the parking brake equalizer.
5. Using the J 37043 (1), remove the park brake cable.
Important: When removing the left park brake cable, the fuel tank DOES NOT have to be removed.
