Cable TENSIONER: Unlocking

    NOTE: The parking brake lever can only be in the released position when releasing the automatic adjuster locking pin or pin punch.
  1. Be sure the rear parking brake cables are both properly installed in the equalizer.
  2. Keeping your hands clear of the automatic adjuster sector and pawl area, firmly grasp the parking brake lever pin punch (or locking pin if a new mechanism has been installed), then quickly remove it from the parking brake lever mechanism. This will allow the park brake lever mechanism to automatically adjust the parking brake cables.
  3. Cycle the parking brake lever once to position the parking brake cables, then return the parking brake lever to its released position.
  4. Check the rear wheels of the vehicle. They should rotate freely without dragging with the lever in its released position.
  5. Fully apply the parking brake lever.
  6. Install the center console and its mounting screws.
  7. Remove the blocks from the tire and wheels.
