  Q: How do you replace the rear cables on Nissan Maxima?

  A: To replace the rear cables on the vehicles manufactured after 2004, unlock the parking brake, then slightly loosen the observed lug nuts of the wheel, lift the wheel and support it with the jack stands while placing blocks on the front wheels before removing the wheel. If there are rear drum brakes, then the brake drum and shoes need to be detached, the cable should be disconnected from the parking brake levers with removal of the spring, cable retainer bolted on the backing plate must be undone, and finally pull the cable through. On 2003 and previous models with rear disc brakes release the locking plate of the cable to the caliper bracket, free the brake assembly of dirt, detach the cable from the lever, and free it from the toggle lever. In addition, unbolt any brackets associated with the cables from the frame or suspension, take out the catalytic converter heat shield and then remove the nuts of the cable housing located at the back of the equalizer to release the cables. installation is the process that is opposite of the removal whereby the cable end that rubs on the equalizer is greased lightly is done and followed with a slight adjustment of the parking brake assembly. For the front cable, you need to undo the center console and disconnect the electrical connector of the parking brake warning light switch and then disconnect from the lever, last remove the adjusting nut. With the vehicle raised and securely supported on the rear, one should then take out the catalytic converter heat shield and separat the rear cables on the equalizer. Next, you have to open the doors of the vehicle and then free the cable retaining plate and take out the bolts, after which you will have to pull the cable and equalizer through the floor pan. It is important because after reinstallation, it proceeds from bottom to top, and the final step is to change the parking brake assembly.
