LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/HOISTING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Remove rear tire and wheel assembly.
(3) Remove rear brake drum from the rear wheel
of the vehicle requiring service to the rear park
brake cable.
(4) Create slack in the rear parking brake cables
by locking out the automatic adjuster as described
here. Grasp an exposed section of front parking
brake cable near the equalizer and pull down on it.
At this time install a pair of locking pliers on the
cable just rearward of the second body outrigger
bracket (Fig. 110).(5) Disconnect the right rear parking brake cable
from the connector on the intermediate cable (Fig.
