How Do You Remove The Parking Brake Cable?

0

From time to time, the cable that runs from the parking brake lever inside the vehicle to the actual brake will weaken, break or simply stretch. When this happens, you must replace the cable for safe operation of the vehicle. To remove the cable there are a number of safety measures to perform before undertaking this job. Step 1 Chock the front tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward off the jacks that are under the rear axle. Without stoppers in front and behind the front tires you risk the vehicle rolling forward or backward and falling off the jack stands. If you are under the vehicle when that happens, you will be seriously hurt if not killed. Step 2 Jack the rear axle of the car up to allow the back wheels to rotate freely. Place jack stands under the rear axle to stabilize the car as you work under it on the brake system. Step 3 Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel and take the wheel off the vehicle. Once you have removed the wheel you need to remove the drum from the wheel
