How to replace the parking brake cable on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

If you're repairing 1995 or later vans, loosen the parking brake using the release mechanism. An assistant moves the front cable away from the control unit while you put a 5/32-inch pin into the tension service hole to keep the ratchet working. Grasp the front cable's hold clamp, and remove its bolt. Lift the last part of the front wire away from where the middle cable gets connected. Free the front cable from the way it connects with the middle cable. Pull the locking tang of the rear intermediate cable connector open with a small screwdriver, and take the cable loose from its connection. To take out the rear cable, peel off the brake drum if your brake has one, then remove the brake components. Cut off the parking brake cable connection to both the actuator and the backing plate. If you have a car with rear disk brakes, you need to remove these two things: take the brake cables out of the connection on the back of your parking brake lever, and unplug the parking brake cable from its bracket on the top of the back brake. Installation works the opposite way of removal, being sure to put the left rear cable on top and connected first to the end of the connector, while the right rear cable goes under the left one and connects to the other end.
