Parking Brake Lever: Installation
- Place the parking brake lever on the mounting studs on the vehicle floor. Install and tighten the 2 mounting nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Connect the wiring harness electrical connector on the parking brake warning lamp switch.
- Install both rear park brake cables into the equalizer on the parking brake lever output cable.
- Ensure that the parking brake cables are correctly installed on the equalizer and aligned with the cable track on the parking brake lever.
- 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.
- Cycle the parking brake lever once to position the parking brake cables, then return the parking brake lever to its released position.
- Check the rear wheels of the vehicle. Wheels should rotate freely without dragging with the lever in its released position.
- Fully apply the parking brake lever.
- Install the center console and its mounting screws.
- Remove the blocks from the tires and wheels.
NOTE:
The parking brake lever can only be in the released position when releasing the automatic adjuster.
