How do I re-attach new park brake cable?

its dangerous get it fixed now.
i cant guess, no body can but
its brakes or bearings. both serious.
or even road debris hit the parts there and they are bent (LOOK see)
my wild guess, brakes.

get it serviced or learn to do the inspections, 2 choices.

check your front universal joints and slip joint for wear. wear causes this unit to vibrate when 4X4 engaged

You say it slides? The tires actually stay still and the vehicle moves? That has nothing to do with parking brake the tires are braking lose because they have no grip on the road(to narrow) or the road surface is slick..

Go to a salvage yard

Please - This is most likely a recall issue - take your vin number to the dealer asap and have them check for a safety recalls.
Dealers must fix these free.


For temporary relief I would disengage the emergency brake and use GOOD set of chocks

Please don't forget to rate!!!


Remove the access hole plug, then back off the adjusting screw

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle with safety stands.
   
2. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange to help maintain wheel balance after assembly.
   
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
   
4. Mark the relationship of the brake drum to the axle flange.
   

NOTE Do not pry against the splash shield that surrounds the backing plate in an attempt to free the drum. This will bend the splash shield.

you mean parking brake cable? loosen parking brake cables put drums on , and adjust shoes till they lightly drag, now apply brakes a few times and check the adjustment again, if all ok, now adjust park brake cables, you want to adjust so park pedal goes 5-8 clicks till the wheels are "locked up" and the wheels spin free with the park brake off

you going to need a scan tool to check for the problem. a sensor has gone bad

Check brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir.
