PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The parking brakes consist of the following compo-
nents:
•
Hand-operated park brake lever (6)
•
Parking brake cables (one each side) (3)
•
Actuation levers and struts
•
Duo-servo parking brake assembly (rear disc
only)
All vehicles are equipped with a center-mounted,
hand-operated parking brake lever mounted between
the front seats. A bent nail tensioner is built into the
equalizer mounted on the end of the lever’s output
cable.
There is an individual parking brake cable for each
rear wheel that joins a parking brake cable equalizer,
attached to the parking brake lever, to the rear parking
brakes. The parking brake cables are made of flexible
steel cable. Both drum rear brakes and disc rear
brakes use the same parking brake cable configura-
tion, but the cables are different.
On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, the rear wheel service brakes also act as the vehicle’s parking brakes.
The rear drum brake shoes, when acting as parking brakes, are mechanically operated using an internal actuating
lever and strut connected to the flexible steel parking brake cable.
The parking brakes on vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes consist of a small duo-servo brake assembly
mounted to the disc brake caliper adapter including two shoes, an actuating lever and strut, as well as the attaching
springs and clips. This parking brake application uses the same operating cable configuration as the drum brake
equipped vehicles, but uses different cables.
The hat (center) section (2) of each rear disc brake
rotor (1) serves as the braking surface (drum) for the
parking brakes.
