Cable End Cleaning and Lubrication

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CABLE END CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
Periodic cleaning and lubrication can be done to ensure proper operation of the parking brake cables. This procedure applies to the trailing end of all parking brake cables.

CAUTION: If a liquid cleaner is necessary, use a cleaner such as Mopar Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.





1. Using an appropriate bristle brush, clean the cable strand in the area that retracts into the cable housing when the parking brake lever is applied (Fig. 99)
2. Clean the cable seal area at the end of the cable housing (Fig. 99).
3. Lubricate the cleaned area with a general purpose grease lubricant.
