Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. I will be sending a few separate posts due to the sheer number of picture steps that I will be attaching. This Part 1 is for removal and replacement for the center console to gain access to the parking brake cable. I've attached the picture steps below. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

This part 2 is for removal and replacement of the equalizer and the parking brake cable for a rear drum style system. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

This is the part 4 and final steps. Saturn asks to disable the SIR- supplemental inflatable restraint system while doing these repairs. Here are the picture steps attached below. I know these are a lot of steps so let us know if you have any questions. I hope this all helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
