Q: How to service and repair the left-hand rear parking brake cable and conduit on Lincoln Continental?
A: You need to start the repair and servicing process for the left-hand rear parking brake cable and conduit by suspending the vehicle on a hoist. First disconnect the frame wire hook along with the parking brake cable adjuster while also removing the clip at the parking brake cable adjuster. Detach the rear cable end fitting from its connector point at the parking brake cable adjuster. A 13 mm box-end wrench should be used to flatten the conduit retaining prongs until the parking brake rear cable and conduit can be removed from its retaining bracket by sliding it out. To proceed the operator should remove the clip from the rear disc brake caliper followed by disconnecting the parking brake rear cable and conduit from the parking brake lever. The last step entails removing the parking brake rear cable and conduit from the rear disc brake caliper. Repeat the removal steps during installation while setting the cable tension as required.
Q: How to remove and replace the rear left parking brake cable on Lincoln Navigator?
A: A proper procedure for removing and installing the rear left parking brake cable must start by decreasing tension on the parking brake cable system. The vehicle needs to be in neutral gear when positioned on a hoist. The left rear cable should be separated from the equalizer before compressing both tabs to disengage the conduit from the bracket. Make sure the retaining spring of the parking brake cable is put in the right place and the cables should stay between the suspension links. Follow this step by step process to detach first the parking brake cable retainer spring from the cable followed by removing the left rear cable from the retaining clip together with the ABS wheel speed sensor wire from its retaining clip. The installer should free the parking brake cable from its position on the left bracket assembly and parking brake actuating lever before commencing cable removal. Installation of the new cable requires following the opposite steps used during removal.
Q: How to Address Issues with the Front Parking Brake Cable on a Lincoln Town Car?
A: The front parking brake cable servicing starts with using the parking brake release handle to discharge the parking brake control. The air suspension switch inside the luggage compartment allows controlling air spring inflation and deflation during maintenance. For safety the technician should place this switch in the OFF position to avoid unexpected vehicle movement due to changes in suspension height. Position the NEUTRAL-stalled vehicle onto a hoist. Apply full activation to the parking brake control by lowering the parking brake adjuster clip. Adjust the adjuster through pushing the parking brake adjuster clip upward before releasing the parking brake control. Lift and detach the front parking brake cord and tubular conduit from the left-hand rear parking brake elongated shaft at the joining connector point. The front parking brake cable and conduit retainer comes off its bracket when you press the tabs while removing it then separate the parking brake cable bracket bolt and bracket by tightening the bolt to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) during reinstallation. Detach the front parking brake cable with conduit from the parking brake control until the components can be pushed downward. Then pull them out. Apply the opposite steps during installation while readjusting the parking brake cable tension when necessary.
