• Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable using the J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool on 2000 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool provides assistance during both cable replacement operations by supporting front parking brake cable uninstalls. Start by placing the hand lever in the downward position to free the adjuster pawl. Then support the vehicle correctly before proceeding. Fully open the front strand with the J 37043 tool before removing the two rear cables from the equalizer. Using the J 37043 to remove the park brake front cable fitting from its bracket enables removal of the cable grommet from underneath the vehicle's cavity. The technician must lower the vehicle then begin by taking out the front floor console and park brake spring with the lever set to an upward position. Use the down position of the park brake lever before rotating the adjuster arm forwards until it stops. Then fold the tab on the barrel-shaped cable front end to let the cable strand pass through. To uninstall the park brake front cable from the park brake lever use J 37043 while removing the barrel-shaped front cable end fitting from the adjuster track on the pulley. To install the components place the park brake front cable with grommet inside the floor pan slot while utilizing soapy water as lubrication and using a curved flat-ended pry bar to position the grommet correctly. After attaching the front park brake cable to the park brake lever you should slide the barrel-shaped front cable end fitting into the adjuster track before rotating the adjuster arm in a rearward direction to install the adjuster spring. Next raise and support the vehicle then install the rear fitting of the front cable conduit to the floor pan bracket after pulling the equalizer back until it stops before reconnecting the rear cables to the equalizer. To finish the installation process lower the vehicle while implementing three lever cycles of the park brake and reinstalling the floor console in front.
