• Q: How to replace the parking brake cable on 2005 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The first step for replacing the parking brake cable requires a vehicle support system while raising it. Start by taking out the front park brake cable from its cable guides followed by pulling down the intermediate park brake cable near the park brake connector then removing the connector. The intermediate cable housing requires the J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool in order to disconnect it from the cable retaining bracket. Disconnect the intermediate cable both from the right rear park brake cable and from the rear equalizer before removing the intermediate cable. The first step for installation involves connecting the intermediate park brake cable to both the equalizer and the right rear parking brake cable. Put the intermediate park brake cable inside the cable retaining bracket and fasten the lock before attaching it to the park brake cable connector then reinstall the front park brake cable to its guides. You should lower the vehicle while performing 1 to 2 cycles of the park brake pedal operation until cable retainers fully engage.
