Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair

Parking Brake Cable Tension Release

1. With the help of an assistant, release the parking brake cable tension by pulling down on the front cable at the cable union, until the parking brake control drum track rotates to its stop and a 4 mm (0.15 in) x 100 mm (3.93 in) retainer pin can be inserted.





2. NOTE: Before removing the brake control retaining pin, make sure all cable connections are secure and the cable tension is reloaded slowly.
To reload the tension on the parking brake cable, follow the release procedure in reverse.
