Next time you change oil, you can kill two birds. Mine needed tightening as well.LOL eff that, I'm gonna have Ford do it lol
Just did this adjustment and was super easy. My parking brake worked fine but I had to pull up almost all the way to engage it or get a good lock. Plus it looked very ugly sitting up so high.
Jack your car up and ALWYAS support the car with proper jack stands.
On the left side of your mid pipe (big resonator) there are 3 cables. The middle one has a 10mm nut on it.
You need a deep 10mm socket, extension and a swivel. Tighten the nut all the way but not too tight. Back it off 2 turns and go back in your car and test your brake. Adjust it till you like the way it sits.
The 10mm nut on mine was loose and I did not even use a ratchet. I Just turned it till it was nice and tight and backed off 2 turns.
2 clicks and my parking brake will engage nicely.
Once you get it up in the air you disengage the parking brake and tighten. Then test it to see if it works while still in the air.May be a dumb question but.... gunna be using jackstands. I drive a standard so before I put it on jackstands I leave it in gear and use the parking brake. Will I be able to engage the parking brake if I wanna tighten the nut??
I don't want to sound like a dick here, but have you tried loctite...Once you get it up in the air you disengage the parking brake and tighten. Then test it to see if it works while still in the air.
I'd advise adding another nut once you are as this will continually get loose over time. I've had to do it every 10k miles or so.
I haven't. But in reality both would do the job. I feel like adding a second nut for 10 cents is easier the messing with loctite. But to each his own.I don't want to sound like a dick here, but have you tried loctite...
FWIW It will need periodic adjustments even if the nut doesn't move due to cable stretching.I don't want to sound like a dick here, but have you tried loctite...
