  Q: How to replace the left rear parking brake cable on Chevrolet Tracker?

  A:

  The first task to change the left rear park brake cable involves releasing the park brake lever. Raising the console requires removing four screws numbered 1, 3, 4, 6 together with clips 2 and 5. Disconnection of the power neutral switch connector must be performed on automatic transmission vehicles while vehicles with auxiliary power outlet require disconnection of their auxiliary power connector. The first step involves disconnecting the park brake switch connector before removing the park brake cable lock nut. Rise the vehicle while supporting it before detaching the left park brake cable from the equalizer. Remove both the left rear tire and the wheel assembly and proceed to take off the left Brake Drum. The shoe hold down springs can be released when turning the shoe hold down pins and then the pins allow the removal of the springs. Remove the upper return spring along with the strut, adjuster, adjuster lever, adjuster spring, strut spring and pawl lever before proceeding to remove the lower return spring. The park brake shoe lever requires inspection of the color ring on the park brake cable before removing the cable from the lever. You must squeeze the park brake cable stopper ring prior to taking the cable out from the backing plate. Begin installation by taking out the park brake cable together with its grommet from the vehicle through removing all three park brake retainer bolts. Put the park brake cable and grommet inside the vehicle after ensuring proper placement of the 3 park brake retainers and bolts which need to be tightened to 10 nm (88.5 inch lbs.). Confirm the new park brake cable features an identical color ring on its stopper ring to the original park brake cable. Begin the installation by connecting the backing plate to brake cable stopper ring and park brake cable before adding park brake cable spring and nipple end to the park brake shoe lever followed by the attachment of the lower return spring. Secure the shoe hold down springs by turning their corresponding pins before installing the pawl lever along with the strut spring, adjuster spring, adjuster lever, adjuster and finally upper return spring and strut. Secure the left Brake Drum and left rear tire along with its wheel assembly and bring the vehicle back down. You should check that the equalizer maintains a 15-degree angle relative to the park brake lever cable before installing and securing it to the park brake cable by using pin . Fasten the park brake cable lock nut while connecting the park brake switch connector. Start by adjusting the park brake system then install the console across the shift knob followed by reconnecting the auxiliary power outlet connector when needed before finalizing the process with reconnecting the power neutral switch for automatic transmission systems. The console should be secured by using 4 screws on points 1, 3, 4 and 6 while also attaching the 2 clips on points 2 and 5.
