  Q: How to install a parking brake cable on Jeep Compass?

  A:

  Insert the parking brake cable through the hole in the floor pan, making certain the grommet is in place so the cable is sealed effectively. Fix the cable routing clamp onto the stud found on the fuel tank strap and secure it with the nut. Put the cable on the detention body; then, attach it with the cable routing clamp and screw. Put the parking brake cable into the hole in the trailing link and supporting plate and use a hair pin to attach it to the brake support plate. Attach the parking brake components, followed by placing the assembly of the tires and wheels. Tighten the wheel nuts to a rating of 135 Nm (100 lbs. ft.). Lower the vehicle and put the parking brake lever up, so that the tire and wheel assemblies are blocked. Wait until the seal grommet lands entirely in the floor pan. Insert the loose end of the cable beneath the carpet and continue it to the retainer until the locking fingers secure it there. A parking brake cable equalizer should be installed and the tension on the cables can then be set with the integrated bent nail tensioner. Replacement of the old equalizer involves connecting the new one to the parking brake lever output, linking the rear parking brake cables to the equalizer so it lines up properly with the track. After tightening the adjustment nut, move the parking brake lever all the way forward to stretch the equalizer, then keep the lever in the released position and tighten the nut until 31 millimeters of thread appears. Us some pressure on the lever one more time to see if the back wheels move smoothly and absolutely stop again with the parking brake. To make sure the wheels still rotate freely, return the lever to its released position, stop the parking brake, lower the car, slide in the floor center console, unblock the tires and link the negative Battery Cable.

  Q: How to Safely Remove a Parking Brake Cable on Jeep Compass?

  A:

  Before you remove the parking brake cable, disconnect and isolate the battery negative wire from its post. Whenever you let go of the parking brake lever, block the tires and wheel assemblies to stop the car from moving. Take out the floor center console and press the parking brake down. Unscrew the adjusting nut on the lever's output cable to stop pushing on the parking brake cables. Loosen the parking brake cables from the parking brake cable equalizer. Rotate the seat to remove the cushion and lift the rear carpeting so you can reach the parking brake cables. Take a 1/2 inch (13 mm) wrench and move the retainer by turning it at an angle, then pull the housing straight out of the bracket for either parking brake. After raising and supporting the vehicle, unscrew the nuts that hold the wheel and remove the wheel and tire from the back. Take the wheels off the car to obtain access to the Parking Brake Shoes. Take off the hair pin holding the parking brake cable to the support plate and then take the cable out of the support plate and trailing link. Pull out the screw holding the cable routing clamp to the body and the nut that joins the clamp to the fuel tank strap. Once you've finished, remove the parking brake cable with the sealing grommet from the hole cut into the floor pan.
