Q: How do you remove and install the Parking Brake Cable on Honda Prelude?
A: To remove and install the parking brake system, first disconnect the negative battery cable, then loosen the lug nuts and safely raise the vehicle. Detach the parking brake switch electrical connector, release the parking brake lever, and disconnect the parking brake cable. Remove the parking brake lever assembly and the brake shoes as needed to access the cable attached to the brake shoe bracket, disconnecting the cable. Use a 12mm offset boxed end wrench to compress the cable-to-backing plate retainer and slide the cable through the backing plate. Remove the parking brake cable guide brackets from the vehicle's underbody and take out the cable. For installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring the parking brake is properly adjusted upon completion. When adjusting, be cautious as an over-adjusted parking brake cable may hinder the rear brake self-adjusters. Check the hydraulic brake shoe adjustment if the shoes are worn, as a symptom of needing adjustment is an increase in pedal height or pressure after releasing the parking brake and pumping the pedal three times. Remove the screw covers, screws, and parking brake trim cover, then turn the adjuster to achieve the correct adjustment, ensuring the brakes do not drag when the parking brake lever is released. Reinstall the trim cover, lift the parking brake to engage two notches, and tighten the adjusting nut at the lever assembly until the rear brakes just begin to drag when rotated. After releasing the parking brake lever, verify that the wheels do not drag when turned, and ensure the parking brake engages in 3-5 notches with a force of 66 lbs. (294N) applied to the parking brake pedal before lowering the vehicle.
