Parking Brake Cable: Service and Repair

CAUTION: Use care when performing service operations on or around parking brake cables. Damage to the plastic coating will reduce corrosion protection and if the damaged area passes through the seal, increased parking brake effort could result. Contacting the coating with sharp-edged tools, or with sharp surfaces of the vehicle underbody, should be avoided.
