Removal and installation of sections of a cable of a drive of a parking brake

1. The general scheme for laying the parking brake cable with rear drum-type brakes is shown in Ref. illustrations.



2. On models with rear disc brakes, the drive design is almost completely similar, the difference is in the way the cable ends are attached to the calipers (see Section 8).

Front section

3. Remove the parking brake lever (see Section 15).

4. Raise the car and place it on stands.

5. On models with a front thermal screen, disconnect the lambda probe wiring connector, release the central section of the exhaust system from the damping holders (see resist. illustration) and lay the exhaust pipe on the rear suspension beam. Then remove the heat shield from the bottom of the car, lay it on the exhaust pipe.




6. Disconnect the front section of the parking brake cable from the connector and release it from the holder on the bottom of the car (see resist. illustration).



7. Remove the cuff from the carrier plate of the parking brake lever and pull the cable out of the hole in the bottom of the car.

8. Installation is made in an order, the return to an order of removal. At the end of the work, adjust the parking brake (see Section 17).

10. On equipped models, separate the front heat shield from the underside of the vehicle (see illustration 16.5).

11. Release the parking brake lever, disconnect the rear section of the cable from the connecting element and release it from the holder on the rear suspension beam (see resist. illustration).



12. Disconnect the center section of the drive cable from the equalizer (see resist. illustration) and release the rear section of the cable from the holders on the fuel tank.




13. Release the central section of the cable from the holder on the bottom of the car and from the front connector (see resist. illustration) and take it off.



14. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. At the end of the installation, adjust the parking brake (see Section 17).

Rear right section

15. Remove the rear wheels and release the parking brake lever.

16. Disconnect the rear right section of the cable from the connector (2) and take it out of the holder (1) on the rear suspension beam (see illustration 16.1).

17. Disconnect the rear right section of the parking brake from the equalizer (see illustration 16.12) and take it off.

18. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. At the end of the installation, adjust the parking brake (see Section 17).

Models with drum brakes

19. Remove the rear wheels and release the parking brake lever.

25. Disconnect the front section of the cable from the equalizer on the bottom of the car (see resist. illustration) and release the rear cable sections from the holders.



26. Release the rear sections of the cable from the holders on the fuel tank.

27. Disconnect the rear sections of the cable to the right and left of the connecting elements and release them from the holders on the rear suspension beam (see resist. illustration). Remove the rear sections.



28. Installation is carried out in the reverse order - the rear sections must be laid over the elements of the exhaust system. At the end of the installation, adjust the parking brake (see Section 17).
