• Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable on 2002 Buick LeSabre?

  A: When replacing the right rear park brake cable you must first elevate the vehicle while providing support to it followed by removing the rear tire and wheel. First remove the park brake cable from its cable guides before you gently pull down the intermediate park brake cable near the park brake cable connector. Disrupt the intermediate park brake cable connection to park brake connector before removing the right park brake cable guide bolt. The right rear park brake cable disconnection process requires using the Parking Brake Cable Release Tool (J37043) to activate the right brake cable locking tabs while separating the cable from the intermediate park brake cable connector . The right park brake cable must be removed from its brackets: the park brake cable support bracket and the caliper park brake cable bracket before disconnecting from the park brake actuator lever and extracting it from the vehicle. During installation you should attach the right park brake cable to the park brake cable support bracket making sure locking tabs have their proper seating position. The right park brake cable requires installation to the park brake actuator lever and the caliper park brake cable bracket where locking tabs must be properly positioned. After connecting the intermediate park brake cable connector to the right park brake cable the intermediate park brake cable must be lowered just below the park brake cable connector before it is secured to the park brake connector. Connect the right park brake cable through the park brake cable guide before securing the right park brake cable guide bolt to 24 Nm torque. To finish the installation replace the front park brake cable to its cable guides and right tire-wheeled assembly followed by lowering the car then operating the park brake pedal once or twice until the retainers sit correctly.
