2009 Buick Lucerne Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the parking brake cable on the left rear side on 2009 Buick Lucerne?

  A: The process to replace the left side parking brake rear cable begins by freeing the park brake then elevating the vehicle. Start by removing the tire and wheel before severing the front brake cable connection to its connector. A replacement of the equalizer is needed when it becomes damaged. The next step requires removing the left rear brake cable from the equalizer. The Parking Brake Cable release tool (J 37043) enables detachment of the left park brake cable from its retaining bracket before removing it from the retainer. First, extract the left rear brake cable through the retainer and afterwards detach the left rear brake cable retaining bolt. The park brake cable must be slid forward until it disconnects from the park brake actuator lever so that you can remove it from the caliper assembly. Directionally insert the park brake cable into the caliper bracket before pushing it forward until it links with the park brake actuator lever. The retaining bolt needs to be installed with 6 nm (53 lb in) torque and receive the retaining clip afterward. Proceed by placing the left rear brake cable inside the retainer followed by fitting it to the retaining bracket then connect both cables to the equalizer and the connector. Lower the car before putting the wheel with the tire back into place.
