Summary

If the parking brake is not released in accordance with the instructions in the Driver?s/Owner?s Manual (such as releasing the parking brake lever only by pushing the lever release button, without holding the lever with the hand, until it is completely released), the tension of the brake cable could be released quickly, causing an increase in the friction between the long hole in the slide area and the cable joining pin. In addition, improper adjustment of the parking brake cable that is stretched due to repeated operation of the parking brake could increase the contact force between the cable joining pin and the long hole in the slide area of the parking brake lever during the operation of the parking brake. If the parking brake continues to be operated in such a condition, the long hole in the slide area of the parking brake levereBay logo becomes worn and the long hole diameter becomes enlarged. If that condition occurs, the washer fixed to the cable joining pin can become stuck in the worn and enlarged long hole when the parking brake lever is pulled. This situation may prevent the parking brake lever being pulled to its full stroke, leading to the application of insufficient brake force. In the worst case situation, vibration can cause the washer which is stuck in the worn and enlarged long hole to come off, releasing the parking brake lever and resulting in the vehicle moving.


5. Pull the cable out from
the underside of the cab.
Remove the clip and
connecting pin from the
drum assembly. Remove
the two parking brake
cable attachment bolts
from the bracket. Retain
the bolts, clip, and
connecting pin for
reassembly. Discard the
old cable.

Parking Brake Cable Installation and Adjustment
1. Insert the new parking brake cable (46410-E0130) into the cab and attach to the bracket with two
bolts. See photo A on the following page. Reinstall the connecting pin and clip to attach the cable to
the drum mechanism. See photo B on the following page. Confirm the cable is inserted into the cab
before tightening the two bracket bolts to the specified torque. Refer to photos below C and D on the
following page for reference.
Specified Torque: 22Nm (16 lb-ft)
NOTICE: Rotate the parking brake cable 180 degrees at the cab if the cable is misaligned when attempting to
install.

2. Secure the cable to the cab floor with
two nuts. Tighten to the specified
torque.
Specified Torque: 51Nm (38 lb-ft)

SAFETY RECALL
3. Thread the new cIevis (SZ231-08009) on
the end of the cable. Insert the new clevis pin
through the clevis. Using a pull force gauge,
measure the tensile strength required to pull
the clevis pin 5.5 inches (142mm) up from
the floorboard. Refer to the photograph on
the right for reference. Adjust the position of
the clevis on the cable so that 44 pounds
(196N) is needed to achieve a clevis pin
height of 5.5 inches (142mm). Once
achieved, tighten the jam nut against the
clevis to the specified torque.
Specified Torque: 16 lb-ft (22 Nm)

NOTICE: Ensure that after the clevis pin height is set, the minimum dimension for exposed
threads on the cable of 2.5mm at both ends is met. Refer to the photographs below for
reference. If this cannot be achieved, ensure proper cable installation as outlined in step 1.

Parking Brake Lever Installation

1. Insert the clevis pin through the arm
that pulls the parking brake cable on
the new lever (46210-E0114). Set the
lever to the applied position as
depicted in the photo to the right.
Set the lever travel adjustment using
the adjustment knob on top of the
parking brake lever. Rotating the
knob clockwise will raise the clevis
pin. Rotating the knob
counterclockwise will lower the
clevis pin. Refer to the photograph
on the right for the measurement
points. Refer to the specified value.
Specified Value: -1 73 inches (44mm)

2. Install the new parking brake lever
and relay bracket (46235-E0050) in
the cab using the 4 bolts removed
previously. The relay bracket should
be installed under the right rear
fastener. Refer to the photograph to
the right for reference. Tighten the
bolts to the specified torque.
Specified Torque: 52 Nm (39 lb-ft).

3. Push the lever down to the “release”
position. Remove the retaining clip
from the clevis pin on the parking
brake lever. Pull out the pin. Connect
the cable clevis to the parking brake
lever inserting the pin from the left
hand side of the truck (the side where
the switch is installed). Reinstall the
retaining clip. Ensure the pin is
inserted through both rollers. Refer to
the photograph to the right for
reference.

4. Apply and release the parking brake 3
times.

SAFETY RECALL
5. Release the parking brake.

6. Ensure the transmission is in
neutral position and the wheels
are chocked.

7. From under the vehicle, it should
be possible to easily rock the
parking brake drum back forth due
to the backlash in the rear axle. If
the drum does not easily move by
hand, the parking brake cable
clevis is adjusted too tight. Follow
the “Parking Brake Cable
Installation and Adjustment”
procedure above and re-evaluate.

Parking Brake Switch Installation
1. Install the previously removed button
onto the new parking brake switch
(84080-E0020).

2. Connect the parking brake
electrical harness clip to the new
parking brake switch.

3. Install the new parking brake
switch on the parking brake levereBay logo
assembly. Install the 2 previously
removed mounting bolts and
tighten the bolts to the specified
torque.
Specified Torque: 3.3 lb-ft (4.5 Nm)

4. Connect the parking brake switch
electrical connector.

5. Wrap the relay harness of the
parking brake switch around the
back of the parking brake levereBay logo
and clip the harness retainer into
the relay bracket.

6. Slide the relay assembly onto the
relay bracket.

7. Place the waterproof cover over
the relay.

8. Turn the starter switch to the
“ON” position to validate proper
parking brake warning lamp
operation.

Vendor Ref.: HMM-150109-N1

SAFETY RECALL
9. Apply and release the parking
brake several times. Validate that
the parking brake warning lamp is
off in the released position. If the
warning lamp fails to turn off in
the released position, ensure the
lever or cable are not binding and
that the switch is properly
installed.

10. Turn the starter switch to the off
(LOCK) position, and remove the
key. Apply the parking brake,
proceed to the “Parking Brake
Console Installation”.

SAFETY RECALL
Parking Brake Console Installation
1. Place the console cover on a work
bench with the lever opening
facing towards you. In the left side
of the opening, trim the alignment
rib using side cutters or a utility
knife. This will allow the cover to
fit over the new parking brake
lever. Refer to the photographs for
reference.

2. Install the previously removed
button onto the new parking
brake levereBay logo.

3. Install the parking brake lever
cover and 2 screws securing the
cover. Tighten the 2 screws to the
specified torque.
Specified Torque: 1.5 lb-ft (2.0 Nm)

4. Go to the procedure for “Setting
The Parking Brake Lever Pull
Force.”

Setting the Parking Brake Lever Pull Force

1. Release parking brake.

Vendor Ref.: HMM-150109-N1

SAFETY RECALL
2. Using a pull gauge, check the pull force of the parking brake levereBay logo and compare to the specification.
Does the parking brake lever pull force meet the specification?
- Yes, the pull force meets the specification. Proceed to step 4 in this section.
- No, the pull force does not meet the specification. Proceed to step 3 in this section.
Pull Force Specification: 74.5 – 85.5 lb (332 - 380 N)

3. Rotate the adjustment knob on
the parking brake lever clockwise
to increase the pull force and
counterclockwise to decrease the
pull force. Set the parking brake
lever pull force to the specification
set forth in step 2 in “Setting
Parking Brake Lever Pull Force”
procedure, above.
