  A: The installation of the No.3 parking brake cable assembly requires mounting it to the parking brake equalizer followed by body attachment through 2 nuts and a bolt with specified torque settings of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) for nuts and 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf) for the bolt. Afterward, fasten the backing plate with 2 bolts reaching torque of 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). Complete the procedure by installing the parking brake heat insulator with Secure the backing plate with two bolts that need tightening to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). You should install the parking brake heat insulator by tightening 3 nuts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf).
