Replacing Parking Brake CableThe cables can be replaced separately. Remove the locknut and the adjusting nut that hold the cable to the compensating bar. Remove the wire clip that holds the parking brake cable to the caliper. Unhook the cable from the actuator lever on the caliper and remove the cable from the guides and hangers which secure it to the trailing arm. Pull the old cable out of the body from the rear. Lubricate the new cable with multipurpose grease before inserting it. Feed the cable into place without kinking it, through the cable guide on the caliper. Hook the cable to the caliper actuating lever and secure it with the wire clip. At the parking brake lever inside the car, install the compensating bar, the adjusting nut, and the locknut on the cable, and adjust the parking brake as described above in Adjusting Parking Brake. |
