  Q: How to Remove a Parking Brake Cable on Dodge Viper?

  A:

  To begin, place a block in front of the tires and block the wheels to stop the car if the parking brake is let off and fully pull the parking brake lever. After that, take out the center console and bring the lever of the parking brake down all the way. Do not use the automatic adjustment until after the parking brake cables, equalizer and lever output are joined to the sector and pawl area. After you grasp the parking brake lever output cable, pull it upwards until you can insert a screwdriver, pin punch or proper pin through the hole in the lever to hold the parking brake automatic adjustment and release any tension on the cables. Both rear parking brake cables should be pulled away from the cable equalizer. Get the parking brake cable housing housing to slide out by inserting a 12-point box end wrench over the retainer, pressing firmly and then gently pushing the cable housing out the other side of the body. Lift and hold the vehicle and then pull out the tire and wheel. Free the ABS wheel speed sensor from the parking brake cable, capture the cable between the pivot and apply lever and pull the cable out as far as is needed to remove it from the pivot wheel. Disconnect the cable end from the caliper apply lever and next, remove the cable from its holding bracket. Then, unscrew the three cable routing clamps and take out the parking brake cable.

  Q: How to install a parking brake cable on Dodge Viper?

  A:

  First, direct the cable inside the frame and place the lever end in the hole inside the tunnel. Pull the cable housing until the retainer snaps into the body. Attach the three cable routing clamps and tighten each screw to 10 Nm. Now, press the parking brake caliper cable through the caliper bracket and set the other cable housing end inside the bracket, then tie the cable to the apply lever. To make enough slack, pull the parking brake cable outward and then push any extra cable back inside the housing. Insert the ABS wheel speed sensor on the parking brake cable, set the wheel and tire in place and secure them with 135 newton-meters of torque. Lower the car until the back wheels do not touch the tyre patch and attach the parking brake cables to the equalizer at the other end of the parking brake lever cable. Ensure that both the parking brake cables and their track on the lever are in the proper place. Without the screwdriver or pin locked in place, use the parking brake lever once and then cycle it back into the released position. Check the rear wheels relax as you release the lever, then do not rotate when you apply the parking brake lever firmly. Eventually, set the car onto its wheels, insert the center console and knock off any blocks still in the tires and wheels.
