This document is a service manual exploded-view illustration, labeled "Figure 17 – Parking Brake Cable and Retainers" (drawing reference K60170-5-EK). It shows the routing of the parking brake cable system from the pedal assembly at the front of the vehicle rearward along the underbody to the rear wheels. The diagram includes detail insets labeled Position F, Position G, and Position H showing cable connections at the equalizer and at the rear suspension crossmember, plus lettered routing/retainer locations A through H along the cable path. A 14-item numbered legend identifies components: pedal assembly, front cable, intermediate cable, left rear cable, right rear cable, adjuster nut, adjuster, part of underbody, bracket, screws (torqued to 8 N·m / 71 in. lbs.), screw (torqued to 18 N·m / 13 ft. lbs.), cable guide, rear suspension crossmember, and equalizer. A "FRONT" arrow indicates orientation. A reader can learn the layout and connection points of the parking brake cables, which fasteners retain them, and the torque specifications for the retaining screws. The document itself does not state a year, make, or model; it was uploaded as applying to a 1991 Buick Reatta.
