Mercury Capri Parking Brake Cable
The Parking Brake Cable of Mercury Capri keeps your wheels locked tightly while your car is at rest. This gives you the peace of mind you need in a steep street. The Parking Brake Cable runs from the cabin lever or foot pedal to the rear brake hardware. It pulls a metal link which squeezes the shoes or pads to keep the axle from moving even under loss of pressure from the main hydraulic circuit. The early Capri models applied a single long Parking Brake Cable that split near the rear axle. From the later years, a short front lead was fitted to two equal-length rear branches. This layout balanced tension and also simplified replacement. While both designs use high-strength braided steel within a protective sheath, the dual-branch design reduces stretch over time and keeps pedal travel consistent. No matter the version, a check for frayed strands or a seized piece of sheathing keeps the Mercury nameplate safe on the hills. Unimpeded movement of the Parking Brake Cable ensures every Capri driver has a reliable backup stop. The Mercury parts will stay corrosion-free due to regular lubrication and tension checks. The responsive Parking Brake Cable ensures that every Capri carries the Mercury legacy of control wherever the slope takes it.

Mercury Capri Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to properly remove and install the parking brake cable with rear drum and disc brakes on Mercury Capri?A:Block both front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling, then jack up the rear end and secure it on jackstands, ensuring not to get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Completely release the parking brake. For models from 1979 to 1986, loosen the cable locknut and adjusting nut to release cable tension, while for 1987 and later models, release the cable tension. Detach the cable(s) from the equalizer, then remove the cable snap fitting(s) and unbolt the cable brackets from the vehicle body. For models with rear drum brakes, remove the rear brake drum, take out the automatic adjuster spring, and adjust the automatic adjuster lever and small cable to access the end of the parking brake cable. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever on the secondary shoe, squeeze the cable retainer prongs together to fit through the hole in the backing plate, and pull the cable out. For models with rear disc brakes, disconnect the cable(s) from the caliper(s). Installation follows the reverse order of removal, adjust the parking brake, then remove the jackstands, lower the vehicle, unblock the front wheels, and check the parking brake operation.
