Step 1: Remove inner wire from brake cable housing on the new Lokar
connector cable.
Step 2: Install brake cable housing and Chevy connector cable bracket to
hand brake mechanism under dash as shown in Fig. 1.
Step 3: Route the brake cable housing back to the rear brake cables.
Step 4: Determine where the single cable adjuster bracket will be
mounted. The single cable adjuster bracket must be aligned with
the double cable adjuster bracket so that the cables are being
pulled in a straight line, not at an angle. If you are using a Lokar
Universal Rear Emergency Brake Cable Kit, the single cable
adjuster bracket should be mounted approximately 9-1/2" in front
of the double cable adjuster bracket as shown in
Fig. 2.
Step 5: Mount the single cable adjuster bracket to the underside of the
vehicle.
Step 6: It will be necessary to shorten the new connector cable assembly.
First make sure the inner wire has been removed from the brake
cable housing. Mark the brake cable housing where it lines up
with the brake cable adjuster. Slide the ferrule up the cable until
it is above the mark, so that it does not come off when you cut
the brake cable housing.
If the brake cable has a black universal housing, cut the cable
housing at the mark with heavy duty 8" diagonal cutting pliers
or a hacksaw. Lokar recommends Klein brand Diagonal Cutting
Pliers, # D2000-28 available at The Home Depot or through W.
W. Graingers, Part # 4A838. If the brake cable housing is braided
stainless steel, wrap tape around the area to be cut and use an
abrasive cutoff saw or fine-toothed hacksaw.
Step 7: Insert the newly-cut end of brake cable housing into the
brake cable adjuster at the single cable adjuster bracket.
Slide ferrule into the brake cable adjuster.
Step 8: Install inner wire into brake cable housing, starting from the
hand brake under the dash. Use clevis end at hand brake.
Make sure hand brake is in the fully off position.
Step 9: Connect the clevis to the hand brake lever. The 1/4" thick
spacer goes inside the clevis, on the left. The flat washer
goes between the cotter pin and the clevis. When the inner
wire is fully installed, you will have at least a foot or more of
the inner wire sticking out of the brake cable adjuster.
Step 10: Thread the single wire union assembly approximately 1/2"
into the rear cable block.
Step 11: Bring the inner wire up next to the single wire union assem-
bly, and mark the inner wire where it lines up with the
tapered end of the single wire union assembly.
Step 12: Measure 1-3/8" further towards the rear end of the inner
wire and make a second mark. Cut inner wire at the second
mark, so that approximately 1-3/8" of the inner wire can be
inserted into the single wire union assembly.
Step 13: Loosen set screws using a 1/8" Allen wrench. Insert end
of inner wire fully into the single wire union assembly, and
tighten the set screws.
Step 14: Adjust all cables as necessary to remove any slack.
