WARNING: THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTING FEATURE
OF THIS PARKING BRAKE LEVER CONTAINS A
CLOCKSPRING LOADED TO APPROXIMATELY 19
POUNDS. DO NOT RELEASE THE AUTOMATIC
ADJUSTER LOCKOUT DEVICE UNLESS THE PARK-
ING BRAKE CABLES AND EQUALIZER ARE CON-
NECTED TO THE LEVER OUTPUT CABLE. KEEP
HANDS OUT OF AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER SECTOR
AND PAWL AREA. FAILURE TO OBSERVE CAUTION
IN HANDLING THIS MECHANISM COULD LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY.

(9) Ensure that parking brake cables are correctly

installed on equalizer and aligned with cable track
on parking brake lever.

(10) Keeping hands clear of automatic adjuster

sector and pawl area, firmly grasp screwdriver (pin
punch or locking pin if a new lever has been
installed) installed in lever mechanism (Fig. 58), then
quickly remove it from parking brake lever mecha-
nism. This action allows parking brake lever mecha-
nism to automatically take up any slack.

(11) Cycle parking brake lever once to position

parking brake cables, then return lever its released
position.

(12) Check rear wheels of vehicle. They should

rotate freely without dragging with lever in released
position.

(13) Lower vehicle.
(14) Fully apply parking brake lever.
(15) Install center console. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-

TERIOR/CENTER CONSOLE - INSTALLATION)

(5) Grasp parking brake lever output cable by

hand and pull upward. Continue pulling on cable
until a screwdriver (pin punch or appropriate pin)
can be inserted through hole in left side of lever
mechanism, behind sector gear and out hole in right
side of lever (Fig. 68). This will lock parking brake
automatic adjustment mechanism in place and take
tension off parking brake cables.

(6) Remove both rear parking brake cables from

parking brake cable equalizer (Fig. 69).

(7) Disconnect wiring connector at parking brake

indicator switch (Fig. 70).
