Thunderbird/Cougar Rear Parking Brake Cable & Caliper Retaining Clip Diagram

This document is an exploded-view parts diagram showing the attachment of the rear parking brake cable to the rear disc brake caliper. It identifies four components with Ford base part numbers: the caliper assembly (2552), the parking brake lever (2A637) which mounts to the caliper, the rear parking brake cable (2A635) whose end fitting engages the lever, and the retaining clip (part number 97413-S56, with a note that 2 are required). The illustration shows how the cable end passes through the caliper's parking brake lever arm and is secured with the horseshoe/E-style retaining clip. Arrows indicate the assembly direction and where each part attaches. The figure carries the illustration reference number H5522-E in the lower right corner. A reader can learn the correct orientation of the parking brake lever on the caliper, where the retaining clip installs to hold the cable to the lever, and the part numbers needed to order replacement hardware, particularly the small retaining clips (two required per vehicle). No torque specifications, model years, or vehicle model names are stated on the diagram itself.
