2009 GMC Acadia Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on the right rear side on 2009 GMC Acadia?

  A: Starting a right side rear parking brake cable replacement requires first unloading the park brake followed by secure vehicle elevation in the air. Loosen this park brake equalizer lock nut without separation and then take apart the front park brake cable from the right park brake cable. The J 37043 (Parking Brake Cable Release Tool) lets you disconnect the park brake cable from the park brake equalizer through its function of compressing the locking tabs on the cable conduit. Two bolts securing the park brake cable brackets above the crossmember and the eyelet disconnect from park brake actuator must be removed. Push the software tab on the locking tabs and guide the cable conduit frontward while squeezing the park brake cable spring before extracting the cable from the cable bracket for removal from the vehicle. The new park brake cable should be placed over the rear suspension module before joining the park brake cable eyelet to the park brake actuator. Fold the park brake cable spring while fitting the cable into the cable bracket until the cable conduit locking tabs fully secure. Secure the two park brake cable bracket bolts with a torque of 10 Nm (89 lb in). The park brake cable should be installed through cable guides before orientation on the equalizer and front park brake cable attachment with the right park brake cable. Secure the park brake cable ending to the park brake equalizer through steps that establish full engagement of cable conduit locking tabs. The park brake equalizer locknut can be loosely installed at first before adjusting the park brake.
