• Q: How to replace the left rear parking brake cable with RPO NYS on 2003 Cadillac Escalade?

  A: Start the replacement process of the left rear park brake cable toward RPO NYS by releasing the park brake then securing the vehicle at a safe height. A user should first remove the park brake cable from the equalizer by pulling down on the intermediate cable after which they should use a tool to depress the locking tabs to free the cable from its mounting bracket. The installation requires removal of the shock absorber mount bolt before disconnecting the lower cable section from the lever through the rear cable mounting bracket bolts. After that detach the brake cable from its lever connection. The brake cable must be extracted from the rear brake cable mounting bracket following locking tab depression on the brake cable. The installation process begins with inserting the new brake cable into the rear brake cable mounting bracket while the locking tabs engage. The park brake cable must be attached to the lever afterward. Drive the rear park brake cable bracket bolt with 61 N.m torque until it reaches 45 lb ft of tightness. Secure the lower shock absorber mount park brake cable together with its bolt by applying 25 N.m (18 lb ft) torque. Set the park brake cable path through guides and body mounts properly before you attach it to the equalizer bar. To finish the parking brake wire installation you must remove the safety stands while lowering the vehicle.
