How should the Parking Brake Cable be adjusted for proper travel on Mazda Protege?

When in the correct position, the parking brake lever is supposed to move five to seven clicks with a medium force of pulling. In the case of less than the required minimum clicks being reached, the parking brake may not be fully releasing, this could result in the rear brakes dragging. On the other hand, when the lever can be pulled more than the maximum number of clicks as indicated, the parking brake might fail to keep the car firmly on an incline and thus the car might roll. In models between 1990 and 1997, the rear console has to be removed in order to reach the cable adjuster of the parking brake. Once the adjusting nut clip and adjusting nut have been removed, the adjusting nut is to be rotated until the required amount of lever travel is obtained and then the lock nut tightened. Lastly, reattach the rear console in case it was detached.

How to replace the Parking Brake Cable on Mazda Protege?

To install the equalizer-to-brake lever cable, it is necessary to start by loosening the wheel lug nuts of the rear and ensure that the rear of the car is elevated and then safely fixed on jackstands and the front wheel blocked.

The second thing to do is to remove the console at the parking brake lever as well as the parking brake lever adjusting nut. Under the car, one should take out the exhaust and heat shield parts towards the connection of the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever, the return spring and front parking cable, respectively. Remove the rubber grommet that is in the floor pan and take out the front parking cable. Installation Repeat the steps of removal in reverse, greasing the end of the cable that fits in the equalizer and rubbing silicone over the sealing edge of the rubber grommet to make it watertight.
