Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair






Replacement

NOTE: The parking brake cable must not be bent or distorted. This will lead to stiff operation and premature cable failure.

1. Remove the parking brake shoes, and disconnect the parking brake cable from the brake shoe.





2. Remove the parking brake cable (A) from the backing plate (B) using a 12 mm offset wrench (C).
3. Install the parking brake cable in the reverse order of removal, and adjust the parking brake. Apply the parking brake firmly 10 times, then adjust it again.
