The cable broke on my 03 Denali and it looked like it should be a straight forward replacement. Your video clarified things for me (and showed that the replacement is indeed straightforward) and I will be replacing the cable in the morning. Thanks for posting!!!

My cable broke this morning 3/2/2017 as I was getting ready to go to work. All I could think about was how much it was going to cost me to get it replaced. When I came home and looked up a YT video, I came across this video. I have a 2005 Suburban. Other than being close quarters, I think I should be able to do this on my own and save myself some $$$$$!! Thank you for your video. I really appreciate the time you took to make it.
Thanks for putting this video on the net. My parking brake cable broke today while we were at a friends house and I have no clue about fixing cars. I was about to call AAA and then I searched the internet and found your video which showed me enough to figure out how to release the parking brake. After watching your video I am going to try and replace the cable myself. Thanks again!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Just purchased from the dealer, 38.00, still going to save me 75.00....thanks for what you do and posting info like this. God Bless

Just what I needed to do the job on mine. I was able to get a hand up in there and pinch the fitting at the bracket to release the cable up by the fuse box. From there it was easy. The cable itself needs some manipulating to rotate it into the right position to get a grip on the pinch fitting - that's what takes the most patience.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows you how to fix the parking brakes on a 2002 Chevy Impala. We'll keep this in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.
Hey, I get it now, to release the parking brake just push up on the little metal lever the cable end fits into to release the parking brake, very simple...
I need to know how to remove the parking brake pedal mechanism for 99 Silverado 1500. The front cable that goes up in behind the pedal mechanism from the floorboard is broke. Thanks , David
Grab a wrench that has a closed end. In my case I used a 13mm wrench. Slide the cable through the closed end of the wrench and push your wrench onto the tab and pull on the cable at the same time. It worked on all the tabs I had to do since I removed all my ebrake cables. From the rear brakes to the inside vehicle. I hope I explained this well enough for you all to understand. Cheers....
I have a 94 Buick Century. The parking brake light stays on after I release the parking brake pedal. The switch seems to be okay and it should only come into play to turn on the brake light. The switch is open with the brake pedal released. Is there a relay turning on that light that could be bad? Thanks.
Hello, my 99 silverado 2500 brake lever travels all the way to the floor and you have to pull it back up by hand, would there be a video on this repair?
My parking brake is engaged. Do I have to release the brake first before changing the cable? If so, do you have a video showing how to manually release the brake? Thanks
Wish you had one for the S10. My S10 parking brake cable snapped when it was engaged and up on ramps. I couldn't get it to disengage and it was kind of an emergency so I cut the front brake cable. So now I have to replace the handle, the cable AND the front brake cable.

I have changed my parking brake shoes,rotors,and tightened the cable pedal still goes to floor and does not hold anything, Is there a way to adjust the pedal?
Hi! So I drive a Chrysler town and country 2008 model. I pushed the e break way to far down and heard a pop. Now the pedal is loose and I can't engage the e break. I'm not sure what happened. Any help would be great.
It would have been much easier to use a pair of needle nose pliers to squeeze those tabs or even cut off the cable from the opposite side and push it through. Thanks for the video though.
Thank you for watching! There are multiple reasons why you could be having this issue. It may be as simple as adjusting the brake shoes, but you could also have a problem with the cable or a E-brake pivot. Hope this helps! 888-844-3393
I have a question ???? Parking brake release cable broke on my 2002 Silverado. The parkinf break is still pushed all the way down to the floorboard... How do you realse it to make it pop back up so I can put the new cale back on... Any feedback please let me know...

Mike, thanks for the video. I just changed my Yukon XL brake cable in about 10 minutes.
Great video. Thanks so much for making it.
Amazing that you could film what you were doing in such a cramped awkward space!
Great video, thanks a bunch. I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 and this video is exactly what I was looking for.
Just did this to my 04 Yukon. Thanks for the help. This video was a huge help.

Where is the video that pertains to the foot pedal and the cable that goes underneath the body all the way back to the rear axle?
2003 s'rado, big help, encouraged me to do self instead of my mechanic...thanks keith

Great video. thanks for what you do. took me 15 minutes to fix this issue. God bless. keep making these videos and sharing your talent
Thanks! I was able to replace mine during lunch (only took a few minutes)! Yay!!! :)
Thanks a lot, it took me 10 min on a 2009 Escalade!
This was very helpful, brother...thanks from Texas!!!
You may want to try cranking up and down on it a bunch of times to see if it gets tighter for you.
Hey, I get it now, to release the parking brake just push up on the little metal lever the cable end fits into to release the parking brake, very simple...
You may want to have the code pulled on the check engine light. It should point you in a direction on what you may need to repair.
I need to know how to remove the parking brake pedal mechanism for 99 Silverado 1500.
The front cable that goes up in behind the pedal mechanism from the floorboard is broke.
Thanks , David
Will this stop the e brake light from turning on on the dash?
Thank You! 2005 Tahoe was a piece of cake. Wish I hadn't waited so long to fix it.
Grab a wrench that has a closed end. In my case I used a 13mm wrench. Slide the cable through the closed end of the wrench and push your wrench onto the tab and pull on the cable at the same time. It worked on all the tabs I had to do since I removed all my ebrake cables. From the rear brakes to the inside vehicle. I hope I explained this well enough for you all to understand. Cheers....
I'll give it a shot. Thanks
Thank you very much I appreciate it
HI Jeremy, We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this process.
You may want to check the switch to see if it needs to be replaced. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
It's located on the brake pedal lever under the dash board.
Awesome...Thank you for visiting our TH-cam channel. 1aauto.com

You may want to check the brake fluid level to see if it's okay. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
cable is released easier with needle nose pliers, wont hurt bracket or your fingers!
squeeze both tabs and push up
why the dislikes? , this is very helpful thank you!!
You may want to check to see if the cable is frozen under the truck.
If this happened after you replaced the relay, you may want to check the relay to see if it's okay.
Thank you. Quick fix.
Hello great video my parking break lite will not turn off after I release the parking break

You need to have the cable released before trying to remove it from the vehicle.
You are the best
Thank you! I was able to replace this today.
Great video! Thank you!

Hi! So I drive a Chrysler town and country 2008 model. I pushed the e break way to far down and heard a pop. Now the pedal is loose and I can't engage the e break. I'm not sure what happened. Any help would be great.
+Kenn Acasio You may want to see if a spring or something in the mechanism has broke.
what do you do if it's engaged and the tension wont release to allow you to disengage the brake?
+DeathadderOne You could try grabbing it with a pair of pliers and pulling on it. Is the handle itself broken?
thanks
You're welcome! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
cool
94 model please.
What is the part number for this project? I need this cable.
Nevermind, I see it now. Great video!
Did not work on my truck still won’t release the parking brake smh

It would have been much easier to use a pair of needle nose pliers to squeeze those tabs or even cut off the cable from the opposite side and push it through. Thanks for the video though.
