How to remove and replace the rear parking brake cables on Ford Flex?

The first step to uninstall and replace rear parking brake cables is releasing the tension on the parking brake cables. The right-hand (RH) cable may be removed by first Americanizing the cable-to-cable union followed by its separation from the left-hand (LH) cable at the conduit equalizer until the cable becomes free from the wireform bracket. The three parking brake cable bracket bolts can be removed at this stage after you tighten them to 15 Nm (133 lb-in) for installation. The RH wheel well bracket bolt needs removal while its final installation torque should be set to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). Begin by disconnecting the conduit equalizer from the RH cable before using the screwdriver to remove the wireform bracket bolt and separate the LH cable with bracket from the RH cable. The bolt needs to be tightened to 12 Nm (106 lb-in) upon replacement. A 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque value should be applied to the LH wheel well bracket bolt when reinstalling because it needs to be tightened to this specifications. You should finish uninstallation by freeing both parking brake cables from their position on the brake caliper and then removing them. The installation procedure will be the reverse of removal while a proper inspection of the parking brake system must be performed to ensure correct function.
