Ford Explorer/Internal Wilwood

General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning
installation. If you have any questions please call.
Recommendation for Aluminum Fittings:
We recommend that you use an anti-seize lubricant on
all aluminum nuts before tightening.
Emergency Brake Cable Installation
Step 1: Lay out housing the length of vehicle with end fittings
toward the rear of vehicle.
Step 2: Install backing plate fitting into backing plate bracket
with nylock nut supplied in kit. Backing plate bracket
is part of brake system. This is not supplied by Lokar.
Step 3: Begin to route outer housing up toward the parking
brake handle as necessary. (i.e., Lokar Floormount,
Transmount or Under-the-Dash Footbrake). Be sure to
route neatly away from moving, heated and spinning
components of vehicle. Burning or chafing will not allow
for a warranted part. Use clamps or mounts to secure
housing into place.
Step 4: Once you have reached the hand brake assembly, cut
outer housing. Slide ferrule supplied in kit into place
and slide end of cable housing into the cable housing
adjuster. You have now completed the outer housing
installation.
(Note: The Under-the-Dash Footbrake requires
a connector cable which can be purchased from Lokar).

Step 5: Install stainless Ford Explorer clevis supplied in kit onto
inner wire by sliding end of inner wire without the ball
through the 1/8” hole from inside U-shaped part of
clevis. Pull wire through clevis until the ball on end of
inner wire stops inside of clevis.
Step 6: Now run end of inner wire without clevis through
housing starting at the rear of the vehicle. Run wire
until you can hook clevis onto internal brake arm sup-
plied in the brake kit. You will now have excess inner
wire at hand brake end of housing. Complete this step
for
passenger and driver sides.
Step 7: Now loosen all four setscrews in cable block and
slide each inner wire through holes in cable block.
Now, with a pair of pliers, pull one inner wire at a
time until you feel tension and tighten setscrews.
Adjust cable housing with cable housing adjusters
until the emergency brakes work properly. If
necessary, set preferred tension on emergency
hand brake using the tension adjuster.
Step 8: The last step is to cut the excess inner wire coming
through the cable block and to check to make sure
everything is tight.
