• Q: How to replace the parking brake cable on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: You should begin the replacement of the Parking Brake Cable by activating the parking brake lever of the vehicle then removing both rear wheels from their position. The first step requires removing the cable retaining ring from both sides of the vehicle before working on the plastic sleeve. The first step involves removing brake drums before discarded shoes while disconnecting the brake cable from both parking Brake Shoe lever and Brake Backing Plate. Begin cable brake replacement by removing bolts which attach the brake cable to the rear axle holding bracket and by detaching bolts from the rear axle mounting bracket installed on each side of the vehicle. Move the bolt which maintains brake cable attachment to the underbody side bracket through each side before removing the cable. The new Parking Brake Cable requires insertion through the Brake Backing Plate before being connected to the parking Brake Shoe lever. Reinstall the brake shoes along with the drums after inserting the plastic sleeve inside the Brake Backing Plate and pressing in the retaining ring properly while maintaining correct Parking Brake Cable direction. Fasten the rear wheels in place while you connect the Parking Brake Cable to its underbody side brackets at both points then tighten all bolts to 12 n.m (106 lb in). Fasten the parking cable installation by attaching it to the rear axle brackets on both sides while applying equal torque pressure to each bolt. When finished put the parking brake cables through the welded body bracket and perform an adjustment of the parking brake cables' length.
