• Q: How to replace the parking brake cable on 2007 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Beginning repairs on the Parking Brake Cable requires releasing the parking brake lever while also removing each rear wheel from the vehicle. The first step includes removing the retaining rings from the parking brake cables on both sides then unfastening the plastic sleeves. Detach the brake shoes then remove the Brake Drum before unmounting the parking Brake Shoe lever from the Brake Backing Plate and the brake cable. The brake cable requires unfolding the bolts that secure it to the rear axle holding bracket before removing bolts from the rear axle mounting bracket on each wheel side. Before removing the cables it is essential to take out the brake cable's bolt attachment to the underbody side bracket on every side of the vehicle. To install the new Parking Brake Cable you must put it through the Brake Backing Plate (replace the cable with an entirely new one if original damage is present) then attach it to the parking Brake Shoe lever. Install the brake shoes and drums before inserting the plastic sleeve into the Brake Backing Plate and pressing in the retaining ring. This process should maintain proper routing of the Parking Brake Cable. The rear wheel reinstallation is followed by Parking Brake Cable installation to both underbody side brackets and a bracket close to this area while tightening bolts to 12 n.m (106 lb in). The parking cable installation requires fitting the cable onto rear axle brackets before torquing those bolts uniformly. Insert the parking brake cables through the welded body bracket before you adjust the length of the Parking Brake Cable as required.
