Parking Brake Cable LH: Removal

CAUTION: To avoid accidental operation of the parking brake, and possible damage to the parking brake actuator, remove Fusible link 8, located in the engine compartment fuse box before commencing work.

NOTE: If the parking brake system has completed less than 50, 000 cycles it is permissible to replace the parking brake cables. If over 50, 000 cycles have been completed, then the cables can only replaced as part of the parking brake actuator and cable assembly.
