REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

FIG 1 Brake cable runs along the frame rail on driver side (circled area).

FIG 2 Rear cable clip is located forward of the rear wheels and near a ground cable connection to the frame.

FIG 3 Front cable clip is located rearward of the front wheels and just behind a bracket on the frame rail. FIG 4 Clamp a pair of vice grips on the rear cable retainer as shown in this photo.

FIG 5 Clamp a second pair of vice grips next to the first pair as shown here.

FIG 6 Pull the vice grip pliers in the directions shown by the arrows to spread open the cable retainer.

Pulling them in opposite directions will allow the cables to fall out of the retainer. The retainer will not be re-used.

 

FIG 7 Rear retainer after being spread apart showing rear cable being removed.

FIG 8:

• Spread the front retainer using the same procedure outlined in Fig 6.
• Pull both cables out of the old retainer.
• Remove the old extension cable and discard it along with the old retainers.

FIG 9 & 10:

 

FIG 11:

• Route the new extension cable from the kit, through the cable holder which is welded to the frame Make sure the cable end with the white tape (circled) is toward the front of the vehicle.
• The white tape is for inspection purposes. If you look under the front of the vehicle the white tape is easily spotted and identifies the unit as having had the repair.

 

FIG 12:

• At the front of the vehicle insert the front brake cable into a new retainer from the kit.
• Insert the replacement extension cable from the kit into the same retainer as the front brake cable.
• The end with the white tape should be inserted in this retainer.

 

FIG 13:

• Inserting the new cable into the rear retainer may require the help of a second person as the cable fits very tight.
• The second person pulls the front brake cable (toward the rear of the vehicle) to get enough slack in the cable for the person at the rear to put both cables in the rear retainer.

FIG 14:

• Cables now must be seated into the retainers.
• Grab the rear brake cable just behind the rear retainer, and FIRMLY pull the cable out towards the driver side of the vehicle about a foot or so (in direction of the arrow). This will seat the cable ends into the retainers.
• Release the cable to its normal position and inspect the cable ends in the retainers.
• The cable ends should not be loose in the retainers but be held firmly in place.

 

TESTING THE PARKING BRAKE:  

Proper operation and function of the park brake must now be validated.

These validation steps are part of the Recall Remedy and must be performed.

• First: Validate the park brake operation by pulling the park brake to engage it and then pressing the release and pushing it back to the stowed position. Do this several times and insure the Instrument Panel shows the park brake is set. Observe the force required to operate the parking brake. Force required cannot exceed 125 pounds for a hand- operated system

 

• Secondly: Validate the park brake engagement can hold the vehicle.
  • Engage the parking brake. o With your foot on the brake pedal, start the vehicle, move the gear shift to the Drive position.
  • Slowly release pressure from the brake pedal to see if park brake functions properly (holds the vehicle stationary).
    • If the park brake does not prevent the vehicle from moving STOP!
    • Return vehicle to park position, shut off the engine and remove the keys from the ignition.
    • Re-inspect park brake cable routing, retention clips and cable tension.
    • Contact Jayco Customer Service if park brake continues to function improperly and/or if further guidance is required.
