(4) Remove the locking nut securing the interme-
diate cable housing to the side bracket on the frame
rail (Fig. 108).
(5) Remove the intermediate parking brake cable
from the cable connector attaching it to the right
rear parking brake cable (Fig. 109). Remove the lock-
ing nut securing the intermediate cable housing to
the side bracket on the frame rail (Fig. 109).
(6) If the vehicle is a short-wheel-base model, it
will be necessary to loosen and lower the fuel tank
far enough to remove the intermediate parking brake
cable. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIV-
ERY/FUEL TANK - REMOVAL).
(7) Remove the intermediate parking brake cable
from the side brackets and vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the ends of the park brake cables
through the frame rails and into the side brackets.
(2) Install the locking nuts at each end of the cable
and securely tighten (Fig. 108) (Fig. 109).
(3) If the vehicle is a short-wheel-base model, it
will be necessary to reinstall the fuel tank to its nor-
mal mounting position. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYS-
TEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK -
INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the intermediate parking brake cable on
the cable connector at the right rear parking brake
cable (Fig. 109).
(5) Install the intermediate park brake cable on
the cable equalizer (Fig. 108).
(6) Remove the locking pliers from the front park
brake cable. This will activate the automatic adjuster
and correctly adjust the parking brake cables.
