• Q: How to replace the left rear parking brake cable on 2007 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The procedure for replacing the left rear parking brake cable begins by lifting the vehicle and safely supporting it during the work. Begin by removing the left rear tire along with its wheel assembly. After that pull down the intermediate park brake cable near the park brake connector to disconnect the two park brake parts. Parallel operations begin with taking the left rear park brake cable out from its position on the equalizer. The Parking Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) allows operators to depress the left rear park brake cable retainer for removing the left rear park brake cable from its support bracket. After depressing the retainer on left rear park brake cable using J 37043 Tool the cable can be removed from the left rear park brake cable support bracket . The installation of the left rear park brake cable requires attaching it to the left rear park brake cable bracket where the locking tabs need to be in their proper positions. You should link the left rear park brake cable to the left rear park brake actuator lever before connecting it to the left rear support mounting bracket while making sure both locking tabs settle into place. The left rear park brake cable must be connected first to the equalizer and then to the park brake cable connector while the intermediate park brake cable goes to the same connector. To complete installation put back the left rear tire next to the wheel assembly then lower the automobile before performing 1 or 2 cycles of the park brake pedal to confirm proper seating of the park brake cable retainers.
