Installation Guide

The following steps outline a typical installation procedure for the ABS K10955 Park Brake Cable. Always consult your vehicle’s service manual before beginning work.

1. Preparation: Remove any existing cable and clean the mounting surfaces on both the brake housing and lever.
2. Mounting the Cable: Slide the cable through the designated channel in the brake housing, ensuring it follows the correct path to avoid kinks.
3. Securing the Lever End: Attach the lever end to the parking brake lever using the supplied clamp or screw. Tighten securely but avoid overtightening which could damage the cable.
4. Tension Adjustment: Using a torque wrench, set the tension according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Verify that the lever moves smoothly and stops at the correct position.
5. Testing: Engage the parking brake fully and release it several times to confirm consistent performance. Check for any abnormal noises or resistance.
6. Final Inspection: Inspect all connections, ensuring no slack or misalignment exists that could compromise braking effectiveness.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of corrosion or wear, especially in harsh climates.
• Lubricate the cable’s internal components with a suitable brake lubricant to reduce friction and extend life.
