What is the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable all about?

The parking brake cable is a thin, steel cable that connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. It is located underneath the car. When you pull the lever, this cable enables the parking brake shoes to press against the rotor or the drum, creating the friction that keeps the car from rolling. It is just like using the brake pedal, but in this case, you are using the parking brake cable instead of brake fluids to apply the pressure. Over time the cable can rust and break. If the parking brake cable is broken, the car will roll even when the parking brake has been engaged.

Keep in mind:

The brake drums or pads often need to be removed to access the emergency brake cable. During this time, the drums and pads should be inspected to see if they also need to be replaced.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace parking brake cable.
  • Adjust parking brake.
  • Test parking brake.

Our recommendation:

Always apply the parking brake when the car is parked. This will keep the parking brake adjusted properly. Your mechanic should inspect the parking brake cable during every brake service. They should also periodically spray rust penetrant chemical on the cable to prevent rust from building up.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable?

  • Parking brake does not hold car.
  • Parking brake does not release.
  • Parking brake warning light is on.

How important is this service?

All services associated with proper function of your brakes are important. In addition to safety issues, ignoring small repairs can quickly lead to more serious (and more expensive) problems.

Chevrolet Impala V8-6.5L - Car is not starting - Henderson, Nevada
Raymond is fantastic, and both the wife and I said "we've the absolutely the best car mechanic to work on my 1965 Chevrolet Caprice, with 396 cubic inch engine". Raymond knew precisely what to do and found the source of starting problem very fast. His car mechanic experience and knowledge is precisely what I was looking for. Got my classic car started and running in a short time, as I was extremely satisfied and very happy. One comment regarding my initial form submitted as explained. I indicated a 1965 Chevrolet, and the form didn't list a Caprice, because of this I indicated Impala. Also, on the e-mail received confirming the appointment, it showed a 5 liter engine, not the 6.5 liter liter that I indicated on the form.
