2000 Ford Focus Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the parking brake cable on 2000 Ford Focus?

  A: A proper repair or servicing of the parking brake cable starts when you release the brake and relax the rear wheel nuts. Lift the vehicle for support and follow by taking off the floor console. The cable adjustment nut needs removal through removal of the clip and adjustment nut. Next remove the wheel while carefully sustaining the exhaust pipe before you remove the rear muffler using the necessary nut removal alongside unhooking the hanger insulators. Remove the center hanger insulators before separating both exhaust heat shield parts from their positions. You must detach the rear cables from the equalizer through a 90-degree cable turn before taking out the rear cables from their clips and then separating the cable guide and outer cable from the bracket. The rear wheel speed sensor needs to be disconnected on cars with anti-lock brakes. First detach both parts of the brake drum and wheel hub assembly before removing the parking brake cable from the backing plate by operating the parking brake actuating lever then detaching the cable and depressing the clip to free the cable. Adjusting the parking brake requires following the opposite steps of removal after new installation.
