Parking Brake Cable Replacement Actuator

Removal Procedure

Important: If the actuator will hold pressure, place the vehicle in neutral and turn the ignition to the ON position. This will release the load on the cable. Disconnect the cable at the relay lever. Shift the vehicle into park and turn the ignition to the OFF position. Proceed with the procedures below.

CAUTION:: If the actuator will not hold pressure, do not unthread the parking brake cable from the actuator piston. The cable is under tension and unthreading the cable will cause the cable to spring and can result in personal injury.

1. If the actuator will not hold pressure, move the column shift lever to the park position. If the actuator will hold pressure, move the column shift lever to the neutral position and turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Raise the vehicle and support the vehicle with safety stands. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
