- loosen the four equalizer mounting bolts on the bottom of the vehicle (see figure 296) and move the entire lever forward;
- remove the cable secured to the equalizer from the lever;
- remove the retaining clip from the front cable mounting axle and remove the axle;
- cut the fastening tape holding the cable;
- remove the fixing clamps from the cross beams on the cable guides;
- remove the clamp from the end of the cable where it runs in the floor of the car and pull the cable down;
