Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair
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.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Remove the two screws, the two plastic clips and the parking brake lever cover from the vehicle.
2. Remove the parking brake cable locknut and the spacer.
3. Remove the connecting rod from the equalizer.
4. Remove the parking brake cable from the equalizer.
5. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
6. Remove the rear tire and wheel assemblies.
7. Remove the drums and linings.
8. Remove the cable stopper ring (2) and the parking brake cable (3) from the backing plate (1).
9. Remove the four bolts and the parking brake cable from the protectors on the trailing rod, frame, and crossmember.
10. Remove the parking brake cable (1) and grommet (2) from the floor (3).
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the
fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
1. Install the parking brake cable to the protectors on the trailing rod, the frame and the crossmember. Secure it with four bolts.

Tighten the protector bolts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
