Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read these instructions completely before beginning the
installation. If you have any questions please call.
Before beginning the installation, disconnect the negative battery
cable and use wheel chocks to block the vehicle's wheels.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly
grounded. We recommend applying anti-seize lubricant to all
aluminum threads before final assembly.
These Emergency Brake Cables are designed to be used with either
Lokar's Connector Cables or Lokar's Floor Mount Emergency Hand Brake.
Please see the Lokar catalog or website, or call Lokar for more information.
Refer to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 for the component names.
Step 1: Remove the inner wires, brake cable springs, and the 7/16"-20 thin nylock
nuts from the backing plate fittings on the new Lokar cable housings.
Step 2: Insert the backing plate fittings into the backing plate brackets, and secure
each one with a 7/16"-20 thin nylock nut. The backing plate brackets are
part of the braking system and are not supplied by Lokar. Fig. 4
Step 3, All Except Trans Mount Hand Brake: Determine where the cable
adjuster bracket is going to be mounted. The cable adjuster bracket
must be positioned so that the Cables are being pulled in a straight line
between the cable adjuster bracket and the brake cable clevis assembly.
Mount the cable adjuster bracket securely to the vehicle floor or frame.
Adjust the position of the cable adjusters so that they are threaded about
three-quarters of the way into the cable adjuster bracket.
Step 3, Trans Mount Hand Brake Only: The cable adjuster bracket will be
installed at the same time as the Lokar Hand Brake assembly. Included
in the Emergency Brake Cable Kit there are three 3/8” spacers and one
1/4” spacer to center the Hand Brake in the cable adjuster bracket. On
the front mounting bolt, install one 3/8" spacer on the right side between
the cable adjuster bracket and the Hand Brake, and one 3/4" spacer (not
included, part of the Trans Mount Hand Brake kit) on the left between the
Hand Brake and the shifter mount bracket. On the rear mounting bolt,
install one 3/8" spacer on the right between the cable adjuster bracket
and the Hand Brake; one 3/8" spacer on the left between the Hand Brake
and the brake cable bracket; and one 1/4" spacer between the brake
cable bracket and the shifter mount bracket. Fig. 5
Install the cable adjusters into the cable adjuster bracket, and position
them so that they are threaded about three-quarters of the way into the
cable adjuster bracket.
