2000 Lincoln Continental Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front parking brake cable and conduit on 2000 Lincoln Continental?

  A: Typically you should begin this work by hoisting the vehicle in the air while following these procedures. Follow this procedure by disconnecting the front parking brake cable along with its conduit from the parking brake rear cable and conduit at their cable connector before lowering the vehicle. Begin the front parking brake cable and conduit service process by disconnecting them from the clevis at the parking brake control. A 13 mm box-end wrench should be used to depress retaining prongs until the parking brake cable and conduit can be removed. Subsequently detach the parking brake cable insulator from the floor pan before setting it through its underside. The 13 mm box-end wrench enables removal of the front parking brake cable and conduit from their retaining bracket after you depress the prongs. Begin installation through the floorpan hole by directing the front parking brake cable along with conduit until reaching the parking brake cable insulator which requires properly securing while confirming all prongs stay in place. Push the front parking brake cable and conduit through the front cable bracket which attaches to the frame side rail and insert the prong into the bracket. The parking brake rear cable and conduit requires connection with the front parking brake cable and conduit at the connector point before lowering the vehicle down. The retainer's prongs should be inserted completely until they lock into the parking brake control housing after which point the front parking brake cables and conduit should be assembled to the control clevis. Adjust the cable tension while raising the vehicle for a second time and verify the parking brake function.
