• Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable on 2002 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: First support the vehicle at proper height and then securely maintain it before beginning the right rear park brake cable replacement. First remove both the tire and wheel from the rear position. The intermediate park brake cable needs gentle pulling at the park brake cable connector location before the technician can disconnect it from the park brake connector . The next step requires disconnection of the right rear park brake cable from its position at the intermediate park brake cable connector. The Parking Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) enables separation of right brake cable locking tabs so that the right park brake cable can leave the park brake cable support bracket. Through the use of the J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool operators should depress the right lock tabs before extracting the right park brake cable from its bracket position on the caliper. The right park brake cable requires detachment from the park brake actuator lever before removal from the vehicle. Begin the right park brake cable installation process by placing it onto the park brake cable support bracket while verifying that the locking tabs securely connect. Secure the intermediate park brake cable connector onto the right park brake cable before attaching the cable to its position at the park brake actuator lever. The right park brake cable should be connected to the caliper park brake cable bracket while making sure the locking tabs are fully engaged. Connect the intermediate park brake cable near the park brake cable connector by pulling it downwards then attach it to the park brake connector. The last step is to place the right tire together with its wheel assembly and then lower the vehicle down to the ground.
