Parking Brake Cable Tension Release

Parking Brake Cable Tension Release
1. Remove the LH cowl side trim panel.





2. With an assistant, release the parking brake cable tension by pulling down on the intermediate cable at the cable to cable union until the parking brake control sector rotates to its stop and a 4 mm (0.15 in) x 150 mm (5.9 in) retainer pin can be inserted.






3. NOTE: Make sure the cable to cable union is connected to the front and rear cable before removing the brake control retaining pin, and the cable tension is reloaded slowly.

Disconnect the cable at the cable to cable union.
4. To reload the tension on the parking brake cable, follow the release procedure in reverse.
