  Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable on Buick Enclave?

  A:

  A vehicle support system allows personnel to start the replacement of front parking brake cables. Open the locknut on the equalizer while releasing tension on the park brake cable. Then take off the front cable from its connection to the rear cable. Compression of the locking tabs located on the cable conduit will allow you to remove the front cable from the bracket. The left side instrument panel insulator panel should be removed first followed by the driver side front carpet retainer and then the two nuts holding the driver footrest. You can reach the front park brake cable routing clip by lifting the driver floor carpet then release this clip from the floor stud and pass-through grommet. The front park brake cable must be disconnected from the park brake pedal clevis using the cable conduit locking tabs while compressing them to remove the cable from the pedal assembly. Installation requires position of the new front park brake cable assembly then cable connection to park brake pedal clevis followed by verification that the cable conduit locking tabs achieve full engagement. Seam the cable through the floor before inserting the grommet before repositioning the routing clip to the floor stud and replacing the driver floor carpet. The installation process requires driver footrest reinstallation with 10 N.m (89 lb in) nutrits torques while connecting the park brake warning indicator switch connector and driver side front carpet retainer and left side instrument panel insulator panel. The front park brake cable installation requires its positioning to the park brake cable bracket followed by locking tab engagement on the cable conduit before linking the front and rear cables then completing the brake adjustment.

  Q: How to replace the right side rear parking brake cable on Buick Enclave?

  A:

  The procedure to change the right side parking brake rear cable starts with releasing the park brake then safely elevating the vehicle. Change the park brake equalizer locknut as it is set by loosening the nut but then disconnect the front park brake cable from the right park brake cable. The J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool enables cable conduit locking tab compression to free up the park brake cable from the equalizer. To begin removal disconnect the park brake cable eyelet from the park brake actuator by removing the two bolts securing the bracket which rests above the rear suspension module crossmember. Use the J 37043 Parking Brake Cable Release Tool to compress the locking tabs on the cable conduit before pulling the park brake cable conduit towards the front direction. Then remove the park brake cable from the cable bracket by pulling it through the cable guides for removal. To install position the park brake cable on the rear suspension module then connect the eyelet to the park brake actuator. Install and position the park brake cable to the cable bracket by stretching the spring while making sure the locking tabs on the cable conduit are fully inserted. Secure the two bolts securing the park brake cable bracket and torque them to 10 Nm (89 lb in). The park brake cable guides receive the install first before mounting to the equalizer while the front park brake cable connects to the right park brake cable. The park brake equalizer requires installation of the park brake cable which must have all cable conduit locking tabs engaged. Adjust the park brake after loosely placing its equalizer locknut.
