Cable End Cleaning And Lubrication






CABLE END CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

Periodic cleaning and lubrication can be done to ensure proper operation of the parking brake cables. This procedure applies to the trailing end of all parking brake cables.

CAUTION: If a liquid cleaner is necessary, use a cleaner such as Mopar(R) Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.










1. Using an appropriate bristle brush, clean the cable strand (1) in the area that retracts into the cable housing when the parking brake lever is applied.
2. Clean the cable seal area (2) at the end of the cable housing.
3. Lubricate the cleaned area with a general purpose grease lubricant.
