2002 Lincoln Town Car Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear parking brake cable and conduit on 2002 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: It is essential to begin rear parking brake cable and conduit servicing with the release of the parking brake control through the parking brake release handle. The procedure requires one to disable air suspension electrical power by using the air suspension switch found in the luggage compartment to stop unexpected spring changes. The procedure requires hoisting the vehicle after which you should pull down the parking brake adjuster clip and drop the vehicle. Apply the breaking control fully and raise the vehicle for a second time before pushing on the parking brake adjuster clip to secure it prior to lowering the vehicle. Using the parking brake release handle operate the control to free the brake while you elevate the vehicle once again. Remove the right-hand (RH) parking brake rear cable and conduit with the retaining tabs from the frame by releasing their attachment to the cable connector. Remove the left-hand (LH) parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer from the cable adjuster after compressing the cable retaining clip and then take out the parking brake rear cable and conduit through the rear disc brake adapter plate. The entire parking brake rear cable and conduit needs removal after unfastening both its connection to the parking brake lever and its attachment to the axle housing. To install the new parking brake rear cable and conduit you must firstly connect it to the parking brake lever before placing it inside the rear disc brake adapter plate. Secure the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit with its mountings on the axle housing then finalize placement of the retainer bolts before fixing the cable and conduit to the frame. Attach the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer to the cable adjuster before linking the front parking brake cable and conduit with the rear cable and conduit at their cable connector position. Complete the procedure by adapting cable tension while turning the air suspension switch back on.
