CABLES-PARKING BRAKE
REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding with this procedure,
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - WARNING).
The procedure below applies to either of the two
rear parking brake cables.
(1) Block the tire and wheels so the vehicle does
not move once the vehicle parking brake lever is
released.
(2) Fully apply the parking brake lever, then shift
the transmission into neutral.
(3) Remove the screws attaching the center con-
sole, then remove the center console.
(4) Lower the parking brake lever handle to the
released position.
(5) Grasp the parking brake lever output cable by
hand and pull upward. Continue pulling on the cable
until a pin punch can be inserted through the hole in
the lever mechanism sector gear and the hole in the
right side of its mounting bracket (Fig. 36). This will
lock the parking brake automatic adjustment mecha-
nism in place and take tension off the parking brake
cables.
(6) Remove both rear parking brake cables from
the parking brake cable equalizer (Fig. 37).
(7) Remove the rear seat cushion from the vehicle.
(8) Fold the rear carpeting forward to expose the
parking brake cables at the end of the rear floor.
(9) Install the box end of a ½ inch wrench over the
parking brake cable retainer (Fig. 28). Push the
wrench onto the retainer until the retainer fingers
are collapsed. From under the carpeting, grasp the
parking brake cable housing and pull cable straight
out of the bracket attached to the floor.
