• Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable on 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: It is necessary to disable the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system before installing the front park brake cable. Move on to uninstall the front floor console unit. You must use hand tools only to operate the park brake lever in a released position before removing the cable adjusting nut combined with its washer. First disconnect the rear park brake cable ends from the front cable equalizer before pulling the front cable in reverse to detach it from the park brake lever. The installation process begins with cable attachment between the front park brake component and the park brake lever before merging rear cable endings into the cable equalizer. The installation of the washer and NEW adjusting nut on the front park brake cable must be done with hand tools only before adjusting the park brake cable tension and returning the front floor console into position. Finally, enable the SIR system.
