2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable on 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

  A: Before commencing with the replacement of the right rear park brake cable installers should first activate the park brake release then lift and securely support the vehicle. Reach the cable tension relief by rotating the equalizer nut. After this disconnect the cable from its base at the equalizer. First detach the bolt from the rear axle clip before removing the cable from both the differential clip and the mounting bracket through its locking tabs. The cable removal process requires first unplugging it from left and right side cable guides on 15 series utilities and from track bar clips. The cable must be detached from its position between the backing plate and the lever through the locking tabs for all utility series except 15. To remove cable from 15 series utilities start by unhooking it from the lever and backing plate according to the same method. When replacing the cable you need to apply correct routing through the guides with body mounts before pushing it into position at the backing plate until locking tabs snap into place (115 series utilities). Secure the cable to the lever then install the clips on the track bar between its locators (15 series utilities). Insert the cable into its designated positions at right and left side guides and matching mounting bracket locations until locking tabs automatically secure themselves. Secure the cable by bolting it to the differential clips then tighten the bolt to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Test the cable retention by the clip on the rear axle holding position before crimping the clip by hand if necessary to maintain cable integrity. Fasten the cable between differential clips and the equalizer by tightening its nut to 3.5 Nm (31 inch lbs.). Thoroughly check to eliminate safety stands then lower the motor vehicle before readjusting the park brake cable.
