8. Now completely loosen the front most jam nuts (E in Figure-6) so that they slide off the threads. Use a 15/16”
wrench.
Note:
If the cables have been adjusted over time, the threads are no longer front most of the mounting
bracket but rather behind it. Completely loosen jam nuts “E” to provide extra cable slack. The nuts cannot be
fully removed, but will loosely rest on the cables.
9. Slide the cables back to gain more room to work. For each cable, remove its clevis shown as “I” in Figure-9. It’s
easiest to use a 7/16” wrench on the jam nut “J” and use a pair of pliers to spin the clevis off (Figure-18).

10. Slide the cables ends completely out of the bracket, and set them off to the side
11. Lastly, locate the clamps that hold the cables behind the upper operator seat (P in Figure-19, 20). Unbolt them
from the metal bracket and remove the cables.

Left side cable: 84” long
Right side cable: 110” long
1. The new brake cables should have new jams nut installed with washers, although loose. Remove jam nut “E” and
washers “K” as shown in Figure-21. Do this for both sides of both cables.
2. Hand tighten the remaining jam nuts on the cable (F and J in Figure-21). Remove jam nut “E” and (1) washers “L”
as shown in Figure-18. You will reinstall the hardware later between each side of the brackets.
