• Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on the right rear side on 2010 GMC Yukon?

  A: Start by releasing the parking brake then deactivate the automatic adjuster of the park brake cable to replace the right side parking brake rear cable. First raise and support your vehicle then disconnect the right rear part brake cable from the equalizer located on the intermediate park brake cable. Pulling down the locking tabs will free the mounting bracket to let the park brake cable slip out from its vehicle frame guides. To remove the bolt from the rear axle clip use the 2500 series vehicles while releasing the park brake cable from the differential clip applies to 2500 series vehicles. Next, start by removing the cable from the track bar clips (1500 series) and from the actuator lever before you drop the locking tabs to free the cable from the backing plate for removal from the retaining bracket. Position the new park brake cable properly into the guides followed by body mounts before locking tabs on the backing plate to secure it. When installing the cable on an actuator lever of the track bar (1500 series), position the clips between discrete locators on the track bar for secure attachment. Guides on the vehicle frame should receive the cable positioning so you can install it into the mounting bracket until tab locking occurs. Affix installation the bolt to the rear axle cable clip (2500 series) with a torque setting at 22 Nm (16 lb ft), while making sure the clip maintains its secure grip on the cable, otherwise crimp it by hand to avoid deforming the cable shape. Connect the right rear park brake cable to the intermediate park brake cable equalizer while installing both parts to the differential clip (2500 series). After lowering the vehicle enable the automatic adjuster on the park brake cable then adjust the brake as necessary.
