  Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable on Buick Rendezvous?

  A:

  The necessary tool for front park brake cable replacement is the Park Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043). The replacement process starts with removing the instrument panel insulator from the left side and the door sill plate before folding the carpet aside to proceed. First align the vehicle vertically while you disconnect the left side cable from the equalizer through loosening its park brake cable equalizer nut. Begin the replacement by taking the park brake cable end from the connector then removing the cable both from the equalizer and guides. Disconnect the cable nuts from the underbody studs while removing clips from the cable. Detach the cable end from the lever clevis while using the Park Brake Cable Release Tool (J 37043) to perform this operation. Uninstall the front part of the park brake cable system from the vehicle. When installing place the new front park brake cable on the vehicle while attaching it to the park brake lever and connecting its end to the lever clevis. Using the vehicle support, raise it up again before attaching cable clips to protected locations of installation while securing cable nuts at 3 Nm (27 inch lbs.). The installation process continues by attaching the cable to guides and equalizers after which the left-side cable requires connection to the equalizer and the cable end to the connector. The adjustment of the park brake cable must be completed before lowering the vehicle by folding the carpet storage and installing the left-side door sill plate and instrument panel insulator.

  Q: How to replace the right rear parking brake cable on Buick Rendezvous?

Use the drill to remove the two rivets which fasten the park brake cable onto the Rear Crossmember. Start with new park brake cable installation after which you must attach it to both the park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator. The next step involves attaching the park brake equalizer with the left side cable then fastening this cable to the Rear Crossmember through two rivets. Lower the vehicle after adjusting the park brake cable.
