I’m a full-time mechanic and I just had to do the entire parking brake cable on a 2013 and it’s the most ridiculous setup in the world. It’s a nightmare. I’d rather use the car in front of me to stop

Great explanation! I'm about to do this job and this video was extremely valuable!! Thank you!

This was actually a GREAT parking brake video. You're the only one that explained the level. My commanders e brake pads shattered and that thing fell out. My hubby has been rather colorful trying to figure that thing out!

Thanks so much for this. Broke a couple wheel studs, and needed to remove all this. Wouldn't have got it back together without your vid!

Just did this, my parking break wasn't working and that fulcrum pivot thing was stuck. THis isn't bad but there are few tips and things to remember: Few things to remember: 1. Make sure you note the orientation of that adjustment screw, don't think it matters but if you are going to use that adjustment slot covered by the rubber plug it has to be in the correct spot. 2. That adjustment screw works differently and is oriented differently depending on side. Not big deal if you see it but again if you are adjusting via that slot it is a pain. 3. The other thing to remember is that piece that parking brake attaches (pivot / fulcrum thing) can be oriented up or down. There is an arrow on it but on my car on passenger side (what is in the video) the arrow was pointed up, on the driver side the arrow was down.Not sure if it matters but take note before you take it apart. Few tips that worked for me as far as resembling: 1. Found out that it is easier to just do the long spring first then you do the pin/clips. Last you do the short spring (just keep one side attached at the beginning and do the other one last). 2. The pin and clip can be a pain but I found out that instead of moving the clip, just push/compress the clip and slide over the head of the pin, then figgle with it and push the clip in ... kind of the other way you would do this normally. 3. Adjuster and adjuster spring goes last.Those are easy. Took me a bit to figure out one side but once I knew the sequence it was easy to do the other side. Good luck, it is not that bad.

Great video about to do my durango here this weekend.

Hi Dave, long story. My project started out to Replace the Rear Seal and Rear Bearing. As I was removeing the Parking Brake I didnt see where what you called the Hinge Fitting or more I didnt see where it came off from. Ive replace the Bearing and Seal but Ive been trying to find a Video the Addressed this Fitting. Your video is the only one that even showed a Picture of it. Thanx for telling me where that Fitting is supposed to go and how the Shoes connect to the Parking Brake System. That really cleared this project up for me. Thanx agian.

The long spring was giving me Tourettes... Thanks for the video!

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4WD - Here are some tips: 1. Grand Cherokees have different diameter rotors 330 and 350. Make sure you get the right one. 2. If you need to replace the parking brake assembly, dust shield included, you will need to press the bearing out, install the brake assembly, and press a new bearing back in. Had to go to the local machine shop for help as I do not own a machine press. 3. If you're at this point, you'll likely need to replace the ABS/Speed Sensor because when you remove it, it is likely stuck and will break upon removal. 4. If you replace the parking brake cable, check for rust on the link. Removal of the old one may need some TLC by the way of WD40 and a torch. Mine was rusted and took about 30 minutes of pulling, trying to open the fitting up a bit, heating it, etc. 5. If you do need a new dust shield, looking for the "split" type one that comes in two pieces. This way you can wrap around the hub rather than bearing removal. All in all, if you do it the standard way, you need a new parking brake assembly, ABS/Speed sensor, wheel bearing, and time.

Thanks for the video 👍👍 Doing it tomorrow

EXCELLENT !!!

MERCI THANKS YOU

thank you for video, how can i know what is really need to be changed ? brake shoes ? or cables ? or maybe nothing to change we just adjust it ?

I can't get these springs together around the actuator. Needle nose pliers doesn't cut it. Trying to figure out how to hook the springs.

Ok seriously how long did this take to reinstall? Holy shit I’ve been trying for the last two hours and the stupid latch shit keeps falling off

for folk with spring issues - its actually very easy to get them all on - for the long spring attach to one shoe then put shoe & spring behind the hub and tweak it enough to get the spring onto the 2nd shoe - after getting long spring on install the retaining pins & clips - after that install the outter bottom spring - stick in 1 side then using a thin straight or slightly curved PICK - push the pick tip into the spring hole and pry outwards to have the spring slip into the hole then just tap it with a screwdriver or something to pop into place. same for top spring after installing adjuster - theres no reason for it to take any effort or fighting

2011 here. THESE ARE A PITA RUSTY (*(#$(&*(*#&! 😬 Springs are the hardest part, getting them on.

If you don't use them bypass them

I’m catching hell putting mine back on

Dude this wasn’t helpful at all! 😅 Two big dudes and two hours later..springs still winning..
