Exclamation Parking Brake Installation

2000 F-150, standard, v6

I am replacing the barking brake cable that runs under the drivers side. Does anybody know where I can find a manual or instructions on how to properly do this? Thank you.

why are you replacing it? If your brake doesnt set or it doesnt pass inspection you can tighten it up at the back be the wheel assembly...

I took it in to the dealership to have it looked at and they said the cable was actually broken.

If you have rear discs, check the parking brake assembly located inside the disc. they tend to rust together. You apply the parking brake and cable could snap. No use replacing the cable if this was your initial problem
