Automatic Adjuster Tension Reset

STANDARD PROCEDURE
The parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism used in this vehicle is designed so that the automatic adjuster is not required to be locked out when servicing the parking brake lever (pedal) or the parking brake cables.





1. Grasp the exposed section of the front parking brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding the park brake in this position, install a pair of locking pliers on the front parking brake cable just rearward of the second body outrigger bracket.
2. Install the equalizer on the front parking brake cable.





3. Install the left rear and intermediate park brake cable in the correct location on the parking brake cable equalizer.
4. Remove the locking pliers from the front parking brake cable. This will allow the adjuster in the park brake lever (pedal) mechanism to tension the park brake cables.
5. Apply and release the parking brake lever (pedal) one time. This will seat the parking brake cables and allow the auto adjuster in the parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism to correctly tension the parking brake cables.
