• Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable on 2007 Cadillac STS?

  A: Vehicle elevation followed by secure mounting should be the first step when replacing right rear parking brake cables. Uninstall the tire and wheel assembly from the right rear side and pull down at the intermediate park brake cable connector to detach it. The next step should be removing the right rear park brake cable from its connector position at the intermediate park brake cable. The Park Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) serves to depress the right rear brake cable retainer while taking the right rear park brake cable out of its bracket on the right rear park brake cable bracket. After pressing the right rear brake cable retainer with the Park Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) once more you can extract the right rear cable from its right rear cable bracket. Workers must disconnect the right rear park brake cable from the right rear park brake actuator lever to free the right rear park brake rear cable. The right rear park brake cable should be attached to the right rear park brake cable bracket with correct placement of all locking tabs. The right rear park brake cable should be connected both to the right rear park brake actuator lever and the mounting support bracket by ensuring the locking tabs are correctly seated. After connecting the intermediate park brake cable connector to the right rear park brake cable you must pull down on the intermediate park brake cable near the park brake cable connector before attaching it to the park brake connector. Complete the repair by restoring the right rear tire and wheel assembly onto the vehicle and then lower the vehicle before cycling the park brake pedal 1 to 2 times to guarantee proper seating of the retainers.
