  1. Remove the floor console. Ensure that the park brake lever assembly is fully released.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle.
  3. Have an assistant pull and hold the front park brake cable toward the rear of the vehicle to cause the ratcheting cam of the park brake lever assembly to rotate backwards, against the clock spring. See Fig 1 .
  4. Have the assistant pull the front cable until the notch on the ratcheting cam is visible through the opening in the cam cover plate.
  5. Push the pawl spring downward toward the notch on the ratcheting cam. Have the assistant slowly release the cable to allow the notch on the cam to catch the leg of the spring.
