  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on the right rear side on Chevrolet Traverse?

  A:

  Starting a right side rear parking brake cable replacement requires first unloading the park brake followed by secure vehicle elevation in the air. Loosen this park brake equalizer lock nut without separation and then take apart the front park brake cable from the right park brake cable. The J 37043 (Parking Brake Cable Release Tool) lets you disconnect the park brake cable from the park brake equalizer through its function of compressing the locking tabs on the cable conduit. Two bolts securing the park brake cable brackets above the crossmember and the eyelet disconnect from park brake actuator must be removed. Push the software tab on the locking tabs and guide the cable conduit frontward while squeezing the park brake cable spring before extracting the cable from the cable bracket for removal from the vehicle. The new park brake cable should be placed over the rear suspension module before joining the park brake cable eyelet to the park brake actuator. Fold the park brake cable spring while fitting the cable into the cable bracket until the cable conduit locking tabs fully secure. Secure the two park brake cable bracket bolts with a torque of 10 Nm (89 lb in). The park brake cable should be installed through cable guides before orientation on the equalizer and front park brake cable attachment with the right park brake cable. Secure the park brake cable ending to the park brake equalizer through steps that establish full engagement of cable conduit locking tabs. The park brake equalizer locknut can be loosely installed at first before adjusting the park brake.

  Q: How to replace the front parking brake cable on Chevrolet Traverse?

  A:

  A proper replacement of front parking brake cables begins by properly raising and supporting the vehicle. Stretch the locknut from the park brake cable at the equalizer until there is sufficient tension. Remove the front park brake cable from the back cable connection. The J 37043 (Parking Brake Cable Release Tool) removes the front cable from the bracket once you compress the locking tabs on the cable conduit. Start by removing the left side instrument panel insulator panel in combination with the driver side front carpet retainer before removing the 2 nuts and driver footrest. Through the driver floor carpet opening front drivers will access the routing clip for the front park brake cable which allows removal of the cable from the park brake pedal clevis . You should remove the cable assembly by pressing both locking tabs located on the conduit. To put in the new front park brake cable assembly start by connecting it to the park brake pedal clevis then examine that the locking tabs on the conduit are fully in place. The cable must pass through the floor of the vehicle while inserting the pass-through grommet before placing the routing clip on the floor stud. Place back the driver floor carpet along with the footrest before tightening both nuts to 10 Nm (89 lb in). The driver side front carpet retainer and left side instrument panel insulator panel must be installed after connecting the park brake warning indicator switch electrical connector. The front segment of the park brake cable should be attached to the bracket with its conduit tabs securely locked in before joining the rear cable while performing park brake adjustments.
