2001 Lincoln Continental Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front parking brake cable and conduit on 2001 Lincoln Continental?

  A: Beginning the front parking brake cable and conduit service and repair operations requires the vehicle goes onto a hoist for lifting. First disconnect the front parking brake cable and conduit from the parking brake rear cable and conduit at their cable connector point and then lower the vehicle. The first step for service and repair requires separation of the front parking brake cable and conduit from the parking brake control through its clevis position. The 13 mm box-end wrench should be used to press down retaining prongs until the parking brake cable and conduit disassemble. The parking brake cable insulator should be taken out from under the floor pan before you guide it through the pan opening. With the 13 mm box-end wrench loosely attached users should depress the conduit retaining prongs to remove the front parking brake cable and conduit from the retaining bracket. Begin the installation by guiding the front parking brake cable together with conduit through the floor pan hole then lock down the parking brake cable insulator by ensuring the prongs stay fully engaged. Angle the front parking brake cable and conduit through the front cable bracket which is mounted at the frame side rail and insert the prong into its corresponding hole. The parking brake rear cable and conduit need to connect to the front parking brake cable and conduit at the connector before lowering the vehicle. Push the prong retainer through the parking brake control housing until the prongs reach a secure position while meeting both housing requirements for front parking brake cable and conduit attachment to the control clevis. The vehicle should be lifted again to check the cable tension followed by a parking brake operation examination.
