2009 Ford Mustang Parking Brake Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove and replace the rear parking brake cable on all on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: All vehicles require a hoist for cable replacement work when positioned with the transmission in the neutral gear and when brake cable tension reaches zero point. The specification for convertible vehicles includes removing both rear support brace bolts followed by installing new ones which should be tightened to 63 Nm (46 lb-ft). The procedure starts with unbolting and discarding the upper support brace bolts before unbolting the front support brace bolts while you install replacement bolts that must get tightened to 63 Nm (46 lb-ft). At the equalizer detect the rear parking brake cable from the front cable before freeing it from the body bracket. The boot needs to be connected between conduit end fitting and strand end fitting while a clamp on the t-end fitting protects exposed strands which could result in brake drag or lock-up. To replace the brake caliper disconnect both the rear cable from its position on the caliper using tools to remove the retaining clip. For the installation replace the parking brake cable bracket bolt by tightening it to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft). The installation includes tightening the new lot to 20 Nm (177 lb-in) after placing it on the parking brake cable crossmember bracket bolt when working with the right-hand cable. The process ends by performing the reverse installation duties while adjusting the parking brake cable tension correctly.
