• Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable (without RPO NYS) on 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500?

  A: The replacement procedure for right rear park brake cable (without RPO NYS) begins by letting go of the park brake and following with vehicle elevation and support and then moving forward to disconnecting steps. To begin replacement of the right rear park brake cable (without RPO NYS) you should first alleviate tension by pulling downward on its front section near the equalizer until it disconnects from the equalizer. Tear off the bolt from the rear axle clip while detaching the cable from the differential clip then from the mounting bracket after pressing its locking tabs. The removal process starts by taking the cable away from the left and right side cable guides for 15 series vehicles and track bar clips for both 15 and 25 series. Lastly, the lever is detached from 25 series vehicles. The installation requires cable removal from both the backing plate which requires tab depression and the retaining bracket until total cable clearance is reached. To install the cable correctly position it through the guides and body mounts before securing it to the backing plate until the locking tabs snap in (15 series) and connect to the lever. Propagate the routing steps again for the cable connecting to the backing plate (25 series) before securing it to the lever. To install the cable attach clips to the track bar but place them only between its locators (15 series) and then secure the cable to right and left side guides before attaching it to the mounting bracket until the locking tabs fully engage. Secure the cable to its differential position by using a bolt which needs to be tightened to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). Check that the rear axle holding clip properly maintains the cable before proceeding because improper retention might require manual crimping of the clip to maintain cable alignment. The final steps include outfitting the cable to differential clips as well as attaching the park brake cable to the equalizer bar followed by removal of safety stands then vehicle lowering and subsequent adjustment of the park brake cable.
