An apparatus (120, Fig. 3) and associated method for use in tensioning a park brake cable system (100) includes a body including a housing (144, 146) and an input shaft (130, 140), the input shaft (130, 140) positioned at least partially within the housing (144, 146), the housing (144, 146) and the input shaft (130, 140) being axially movable relative to one another, and the input shaft (130, 140) and the outer housing (144, 146) being rotatable relative to one another, the body having a nut receiving recess (141). The cable system (100) is tensioned by retracting the nut (126) from its support surface, tensioning the system by rotating the nut (126), and relieving the nut (126) back to its support surface. A control system is used to control the operation of the tensioning device (120), and is programmable to perform several associated functions. |
