2. Hold the pedal in the FULL upward position.
3. Pull rearward on the front park brake cable until the pedal drum (2) reaches its full reset position.
4. Insert a thin tool (1) on an upward angle through the hole in the front of the pedal assembly, past the retracted pedal drum, and into the hole in the back of the pedal assembly (3).
5. Slowly release the cable.
6. Remove the component that requires service.
