  Q: How to service and repair the parking brake cable on Ford Contour?

  A: Service and repair operations on the parking brake cable require starting with parking brake release and loosening the rear wheel nuts. Support the vehicle as you elevate it while taking off the control for the parking brake and removing the wheel. Before detaching the muffler inlet pipe exhaust hanger insulator and the left-hand muffler exhaust hanger insulator it is crucial to sustain the muffler assembly with an appropriate jack stand. Right-hand rear muffler exhaust hanger insulator must be disconnected first when working on SVT vehicles before disconnecting the Exhaust Pipe from its insulator position. First remove the rear section of exhaust system heat shield then detach the rear brake cables from the equalizer. A process for vehicle rear disc brake systems includes pulling back the parking brake lever followed by disconnecting the cable from the brake lever and removing the cable clip then taking out the cable. Drum brake vehicles require rear Brake Shoe removal alongside the detachment of the backing plate brake cable by unfolding its clip. Remove the rear brake cable from its clips as the last step. The installation process requires you to set the parking brake control self-adjust mechanism preload through the complete lift of the parking brake control lever followed by performing removal steps in reverse order.
