  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable Front on GMC Acadia?

  A:

  The first step to change the Parking Brake Front Cable requires vehicle lift with support and relaxation of tension through the park brake cable locknut at the equalizer for installation. The front park brake cable must be disconnected from the rear park brake cable followed by removal from the park brake cable bracket on the body through pressing the locking tabs of the cable conduit. Move on to remove the left side instrument panel insulator panel together with the driver side front carpet retainer and its two securing nuts to access the front park brake cable routing clip which must be released from the floor stud. Begin the front park brake cable removal by detaching the cable from park brake pedal clevis through its pass through grommet before taking away the assembly from park brake pedal by compressing the locking tabs on the cable conduit . Use the new assembly by attaching it to the park brake pedal clevis and validate full engagement of the cable conduit locking tabs to the park brake pedal assembly. After routing the cable through the vehicle floor you need to seat the pass through grommet before installing the driver footrest while tightening the 2 nuts to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The warning indicator electric connector should be installed before adding the driver front side carpet retainer and left instrument panel panel insulator. Completely engage the locking tabs of the cable conduit before connecting the front park brake cable to its body bracket. Afterward, link the front park brake cable to the rear park brake cable.

  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on the right rear side on GMC Acadia?

  A:

  One should start the right side parking brake rear cable replacement by releasing the park brake then lifting and supporting the vehicle. Release the park brake equalizer locknut while keeping it intact before disconnecting the front park brake cable from the right park brake cable. The locking tabs on the cable conduit require compression to free the park brake cable from the park brake equalizer. Two park brake cable bracket bolts mounted atop the crossmember above the rear suspension module need removing before unconnecting the park brake cable eyelet from the park brake actuator. You must compress the locking tabs on the conduit after pulling the park brake cable toward the front while compressing the cable spring. Once this step is done, you can remove the cable from both the cable bracket and pass it through guide channels to remove it from the vehicle. When installing the park brake cable position it over the rear suspension module before connecting the eyelet to the park brake actuator. Put tension on the park brake cable spring by compressing it then mount the cable to the cable bracket while verifying full engagement of the cable conduit locking tabs. Twist and secure the two bracket bolts on the park brake cable with 10 n.m (89 lb in) torque. The installation will involve attaching the park brake cable through its cable guides before positioning it on the equalizer and then linking the front park brake cable to the right park brake cable. Follow these steps to install the park brake cable onto the equalizer while making sure all locking tabs on cable conduit connect properly. Terminate the park brake equalizer locknut installation but maintain it loose before performing the park brake adjustment.
