Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on the right rear side on GMC Yukon?

Accepted Answer

The first task to replace the right side parking brake rear cable requires operatives to release the brake and disable the automatic adjuster function. After vehicle support, unscrew the right rear park brake cable from the equalizer part of the intermediate park brake cable. The parking brake cable requires release from both the mounting bracket by pushing the locking tabs and the guides on the frame of the vehicle. Disassemble the bolt which anchors the rear axle clip on 2500 series vehicles and dislodge the park brake cable from its housing at the differential clip on 2500 series vehicles and the track bar clips on 1500 series models. Detach the cable from the actuator lever first before removing it both from the backing plate and the retaining bracket. The new park brake cable needs proper routing through guides and body mounts before pressing it onto the backing plate until tab locks take place followed by securing it to the actuator lever. Secure the cable on the track bar using clips which must rest between its location markups (1500 series series). The cable needs to reach the vehicle frame guides and you need to install it at the mounting bracket until the tabs secure into position. The bolt should be installed into the rear axle cable clip (2500 series) while applying torque to 22 N.m (16 lb ft) to maintain cable security while avoiding any cable damage or constraint. Connect the right rear park brake cable to the intermediate park brake cable equalizer as well as the differential clip (2500 series). To complete the procedure lower the vehicle then enable and adjust the park brake automatic adjuster.

Question 3

How to replace the left rear parking brake cable on cars with rear disc brakes on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles with rear disc brakes must be raised securely before starting the process to replace their left rear park brake cable. During the repair of all 15 series vehicles release tension from the park brake cable through its downward pull in front of the equalizer before discharging the left park brake cable from the equalizer bar. In 25/35 series vehicles the automatic adjuster of the park brake cable needs disabling while the cable's attachment to the equalizer gets separated. Press the locking tabs to free the cable from the mounting bracket while the bolt needs to come out to detach it from the shock absorber bracket. The procedure for cable removal from backing plate starts by compressing the spring toward the lever, next depress the locking tabs then pull cable housing out of the backing plate before removing cable through the plate slot. First remove the park brake cable from the lever then extract the cable from outside of the vehicle. Place the cable back into the vehicle before attaching it to the lever. Then install the cable onto the backing plate through the slot by compressing the spring first followed by routing the cable through the slot and finally pushing the cable housing into the backing plate until both locking tabs engage. Secure the cable at the shock absorber bracket with a bolt tightened to 22 N.m (16 lb ft), activate the parking brake cable automatic adjuster, connect the cable at the equalizer for 25/35 series vehicles before completing the installation. During 15 series park brake assembly all vehicles need the left park brake cable attached to the equalizer bar after pulling down on the cable above the equalizer. End the procedure by first removing the safety stands then lowering the vehicle before adjusting the park brake cable.
