I just need to get the parking brake cable off ... and to be honest, have no idea how to do so. I'm assuming it involves the bracket up underneath the driveshaft, but the FSM is very vague and I don't want to break anything. Guess I'll try to find a more detailed section of the FSM, but if anyone has a quick description of how to remove the cable, please share ... it's the last thing keeping me from lowering the frame.  |
Hey! The parking brake adjuster has a 10 or a 13 mm horizontal center bolt that tensions and slackens it, adjust that to maximize the slack. Then from below there is a 10 mm bolt you only see the head which secures the front parking brake cable to the adjuster, remove that bolt and the front cable will be released, don't loose the bolt it is a special design. with the cables slack and disconnected at the front, the adjuster can be unhooked from the frame slot in which it rides, then you can maneuver it to slip the twp rear cable ends off the hooks on the adjuster.
Then all you need to do is remove the flat spring clips the secure the cable's metal ends to the chassis brackets and then push the grommets and the cable together out of the rings that hold them. It's easier to remove the grommets and the cable than to pull the cable out of the grommets usually.
