2010 Buick Lucerne Parking Brake Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the parking brake cable on the left rear side on 2010 Buick Lucerne?

  A: A manufacturer should start by releasing the park brake before raising the vehicle. The first step requires the front brake cable to disconnect from its connector. Removal of tire and wheel will precede this step. A replacement of the equalizer becomes necessary if it gets damaged. Removal of the left rear brake cable from its position on the equalizer should happen next. The Parking Brake Cable release tool (J 37043) helps users detach the left park brake cable from the retaining bracket before extracting it from the retainer. The technician should remove the left rear brake cable both from the retainer as well as its retaining bolt. The park brake cable needs to be moved forward to break the connection at the park brake actuator lever before taking it off the caliper . We must insert the park brake cable into the bracket on the brake caliper then push it forward to join it with the park brake actuator lever . Attach the retaining bolt at 6 nm (53 lb in), then add the retaining clip onto the installation. Among the tasks is to install the left rear brake cable into the retainer and retaining bracket before joining the left rear brake cable to the equalizer and front brake cable to the connector. At the end of this process reinstall the tire and wheel and lower the vehicle to conclusion.
