2001 Cadillac Seville Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear parking brake cable on a right-hand drive on 2001 Cadillac Seville?

  A: The first step to change the rear park brake cable in right-hand drive vehicles requires accurate vehicle lift and support. Begin by removing the rear tire along with wheel assemblies followed by cable loosening from its adjuster. The driver should disconnect the left rear park brake cable from the rear equalizer while pulling down on the park brake cable near the park brake connector. The following step requires disconnection of the right rear park brake cable from its position on the intermediate park brake cable. Start cable removal by pushing retaining tabs on housing connectors to free cables from brackets which are situated at the rear right or left. The park brake cables should be disconnected from the levers while removing left and right park brake cables from their caliper park brake cable brackets through retainer tab engagement. Remove the last remaining part of the entire park brake system by disconnecting the rear cable. To install the hardware begin by sliding both park brake cables into their brackets before linking the intermediate park brake cable with the equalizer and attaching the right rear park brake cable to it. Connect the brake caliper park brake cable brackets with both cables by snap-in installation before attaching the park brakes to their levers. Complete this operation by pulling the intermediate brake cable. Install the park brake intermediate cable after the adjustments then put back the rear wheels and tires before letting the vehicle drop.
