Rear Cable

A vehicle raise and released park brake are essential before beginning the replacement of left rear park brake cables on 2004-2006 chevrolet colorado and gmc canyon models. The park brake cable release tool (J 37043) allows technicians to remove the park brake cable adjusting nut before they can disconnect the front park brake cable and the left rear park brake cable from the equalizer. The process of left rear park brake cable substitution on 2004-2006 chevrolet colorado and gmc canyon vehicles requires removing the retaining bolt from the cable and detaching it from both long and short wheel base frame rails and eliminating the retainer at the left frame and retaining nut within the left rear Leaf Spring. Then remove both the left rear park brake cable retaining bracket together with the rear brake shoes. Through the j 37043 tool you will disconnect both the park brake cable from the backing plate and extract the cable from the vehicle. The installation process requires the new park brake cable to be inserted first into the backing plate followed by reinstallation of rear brake shoes. Fasten the park brake cable to its retaining bracket on the rear Leaf Spring through the use of a retaining nut tightened to 9 n.m (80 lb in). The left rear frame rail requires installation of the park brake cable alongside retaining bolts that need to be tightened at 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). Both retaining brackets require tightening their bolts to 9 nm (80 inch lbs.) while doing this procedure for short and long wheel bases. After hooking up the left rear park brake cable to the park brake equalizer you must install the front park brake cable and proceed to adjust the park brake before lowering the vehicle.

One must start by releasing the applied park brake followed by raising the vehicle before addressing the left rear park brake cable replacement. The Parking Brake Cable release tool (J 37043) helps users remove the park brake cable adjusting nut before proceeding with cable detaching from both the front park brake cable and left rear park brake cable from the equalizer. The procedure begins by removing the retaining bolt from the left rear park brake cable before detaching the cable connection at the left frame rail for both long and short wheel bases and removing the retainer for the park brake cables at the left frame rail. Detach the left rear Leaf Spring park brake cable retaining nut then uninstall the left rear park brake cable retaining bracket followed by taking out the rear brake shoes. Eliminate the park brake cable through the vehicle by using the Parking Brake Cable release tool (J 37043). Installation commences with the new park brake cable insertion into the backing plate followed by rear Brake Shoe reinstallation and the cable connection to the rear Leaf Spring retaining bracket before securing it with a retaining nut tightened to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Move forward by installing the park brake cable onto the left rear frame rail while securing it with retaining bolts that you should tighten to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Continue to tighten all bolts on the retaining bracket for short and long wheel bases to 9 n.m (80 lb in).
