Parking Brake Cable: Adjustments




Parking Brake Cable Adjustment - Disc Brakes

NOTE: Cable tension is adjusted in 2 locations, the first location is at the parking brake control, the second location is at the parking brake cable equalizer. The tension must be adjusted equally at both locations.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. NOTE: The dimension will vary depending on the amount of cable stretch. New cables require cycling the parking brake control 5-10 times to remove the cable slack.
Adjust the parking brake control adjustment nut as shown.






3. Adjust the parking brake cable equalizer adjustment nut as shown.





4. Fully apply the parking brake pedal 3 times to verify correct operation of the parking brake system.
- With the parking brake cable in the fully released position, brake drag should not be present.
