2005 Sport Trac Parking brake cable connectors

[Trophcrazy]

I looking for the connectors that are required to re-install the parking brake cables as my garage took them and dumped the old and now they dont know how to re-assemble the cables. I bought the front/back (right & left) and the intermediate. A picture or diagram on what connects with which connector will be of great help. Thanks in advance

welcome to EF! are you looking for the drum section of the parking brake that sits on the axle section, or a diagram of the cable or both?

Thanks for replying, I am looking for a pic or diagram on how the cables connect as they have lost the connectors, how does the front cable connect to the back (left & right) and the intermediate. Basically how do they all connect.

This is an illustrated How-To for a 1996 XLT 2WD and similar models. I'm not sure which other years use the same setup, but some people might find this useful. Before you start work on the parking brake, you need to loosen the cable. Right above the parking brake lever (that you push with...

I need to know which connector fits into which cable as they are different sizes, as I bought the cables. Need to have a diagram or picture of how they are all linked. As there are 4 cables front, intermediate, back left and back right

These help? If not, let me know. Front to rear.

So from the pics can you tell me the first is the front cable and it connect to the intermediate ? the 3rd pic is which cables, I think i am missing a connector in the 4th pic as that one seems large on one side (and that is what cables back right ?) sorry i am a rookie in this trying to solve the mess my mechanic did, but i park on a slope to I need the parking brake. Thanks a lot for the pics so far and if you can details the pics that will be even more helpful to me.

 

[swshawaii]

Pics 2-3-4 are connectors shown front to rear. Your 2005 Sport Trac frame is exactly the same. Use holes and brackets in the pics as reference points.
Find the missing connector before going any further. Best bet would be a salvage yard because it was probably discontinued long ago. Good luck.

I did manage to get the "Equalizer" or connector made, and connected all the cables. It does engage when compressed but the brakes dont hold the truck even if I press the lever all the way down although it is a hard compression. Adjusted the brake shoes (new installed) to almost max but it still doesnt hold the truck on a slight incline. Was told by the mechanic that the cables which are all new but be the issue. Is it the cable lengths ??

If you can push the parking brake cable all the way to the floor, you need to adjust the cable tighter..........

......the brake parking cable and the hydraulic brakes are two separate situations. No matter how tight you adjust the brake shoes inside the drums, it has nothing to do with how tight the parking cable is.

First will like to thank you for your suggestion, but there is no adjuster to tighten the cables they are new ones installed. The brake lever is pretty hard to push down already. Do you think its the pivot levers of the shoes that might be the problem ?
