CAUTION: A NEW parking brake cable equalizer (2)
must be installed when servicing the parking
brake cables or lever. The equalizer has an inte-
grated bent nail tensioner that needs to be
stretched upon installation placing the correct ten-
sion on the cables.
3. Remove and install a NEW parking brake cable
equalizer (2) on the parking brake lever output
cable.
4. Install the rear parking brake cables (3) into the
equalizer (2) on the parking brake lever output
cable.
5. Ensure that the parking brake cables are correctly
installed on the equalizer and aligned with the
cable track on the parking brake lever.
NOTE: Actuating the parking brake lever to its
fully applied position one time after tightening the
adjustment nut will yield (stretch) the bent nail
portion of the equalizer approximately 1/4 inch.
This process will correctly set the parking brake
cable tension.
6. Adjust parking brake cable tension using the follow-
ing steps:
a. Place the parking brake lever in the fully
released (down) position.
b. Tighten the adjusting nut (3) on the parking
brake lever output cable until 31 millimeters of
thread is out past the end of the adjustment
nut (1).
c. Actuate the parking brake lever to its fully
applied position one time, then reposition it to
its fully released (down) position.
7. Raise the vehicle to a point where the rear wheels just clear the floor.
