  Q: How to Replace the Rear Parking Brake Cable with a Solid Axle on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A:

  The first step to switch a parking brake rear cable to a solid axle requires appropriate vehicle lifting and support while following these instructions. Tension relief for the park brake cable should occur at the equalizer positioned near the middle of the rear axle. To work on the right rear cable disconnect its end from the clip but to replace the left rear cable remove the equalizer nut from the equalizer stud that is part of this cable. Proceed with disconnecting the rear cable from the front cable then remove the rear wheel. Move on to detach both park brake cable and support bracket from the actuator lever after removing the cable from its bracket. Start by setting the park brake cable into the support bracket followed by attachment to the actuator lever. The installation process requires the rear wheel reinstallation followed by front and rear cables connection. Next step includes park brake adjustment before the vehicle's lowering procedure.

  Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A:

  Before front cable repair starts it is necessary to eliminate the left cowl side panel and fold back the carpet. Support the vehicle at a height and loosen the park brake cable equalizer but to disconnect the park brake cable from its connector. Start by taking the cable end of the park brake out from its connector point along with all cable retainer points before lowering the vehicle. The J 37043 Park Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) should be used to remove the park brake cable end from the lever clevis while you detach the cable end from its position on the park brake lever. After that, you can extract the front park brake cable from the vehicle. To install the new front park brake cable the technician needs to insert the component into the vehicle and join it to the park brake lever before connecting the cable end to the clevis. The vehicle needs to be raised again while you fasten the cable to its retainers before connecting the cable end to the park brake cable connector. The park brake cable equalizer needs adjustment while you lower the vehicle until you place the carpet back before installing the left cowl side panel.
