PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The parking brake system is operated by a foot
operated parking brake lever. The parking brake
lever is mounted on the body of the vehicle to the left
of the brake pedal (Fig. 94). It is a automatic-adjust-
ing type lever.
Vehicles without Fold-in-floor seating have four
flexible steel parking brake cables. They are:
²Front
²Intermediate
²Left rear
²Right rear

SUPPORT PLATE - DRUM BRAKE (Continued)

Vehicles with Fold-in-floor seating have three flex-
ible steel parking brake cables. They are:
²Front
²Left rear
²Right rear
The front parking brake cable extends from the
parking brake lever. A steel equalizer bracket con-
nects the front parking brake cable to the left rear
and intermediate cables on vehicles without Fold-in-
floor seating. The equalizer bracket connects the
front parking brake cable to the left rear and right
rear cables on vehicles with Fold-in-floor seating. The
intermediate cable is connected to the right rear
cable on vehicles without Fold-in-floor seating. A
standard cable connector is used to accomplish this
connection.
On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, the
rear service brakes also act as the vehicle's parking
brakes.
Vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes use a
small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the each
rear disc brake caliper adapter as the parking brake.
The inside of the brake rotor (hat section of drum-in-
hat style brake rotor) is used as the parking brake
drum.
DESCRIPTION - EXPORT
The parking brake system on this vehicle features
a hand-operated parking brake lever. The lever is
located between the two front seats and requires a
special front cable.
OPERATION
The automatic-adjusting feature in the foot oper-
ated parking brake lever continuously applies mini-
mal tension to the parking brake cables when the
parking brake lever is in the released position to
keep them in adjustment at all times. Due to this
feature, the parking brake cables require no periodic
adjustment.
When the parking brake lever is applied, the
cables are pulled, thus applying the brake shoes
(rear drum brakes) or parking brake shoes (rear disc
brakes) at each rear wheel.
The brake shoes are mechanically operated by an
internal lever and strut connected to the rear park-
ing brake cables.
An equalizer bracket is used at the rear end of the
front parking brake cable to distribute tension
equally to each parking brake cable.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PARKING BRAKE
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER TENSION RELEASE

in this vehicle is designed so that the automatic
adjuster is not required to be locked out when servic-
ing the parking brake lever (pedal) or the parking
brake cables.
This parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism is
designed so that the adjuster mechanism will rotate
only half a turn when the tension is released from
the parking brake cable. This eliminates the require-
ment to lock out the automatic adjuster when servic-
ing the parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism and
cables.
Use the following procedure to release the tension
from the parking brake cables and the automatic
adjuster in the parking brake lever (pedal) mecha-
nism.
