• Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoe on 2000 Toyota Celica?

  A: It is vital to start servicing the parking brake shoe by removing the rear wheel with 76 ft. lbs. torque (1,050 kgf-cm, 103 Nm). The process starts with removing the rear disc brake assembly by unfastening its two installation bolts and rear brake caliper with a torque force of 47 Nm (475 kgf-cm, 34 ft. lbs.) while maintaining connections between the flexible hose and suspending the disc brake to avoid flexible hose damage. The parking brake disc can be removed by operating the release lever yet hardness to extract indicates adjusting the shoe to let the wheel rotate easily. Using needle-nose pliers remove first the tension spring and then the 2 shoe return springs and after that the shoe strut. You can remove the front shoe and adjuster using Special Service Tool: 09718-00010 to take off the shoe hold-down spring and pin. To remove the rear shoe the special tool should be employed again to take out the hold-down spring and pin so the parking brake shoe lever can be disconnected from the shoe before extraction. Through the use of needle-nose pliers disconnect the parking brake cable from the parking brake shoe lever. A thorough examination of all parts must take place for damage assessment and measurement of brake shoe lining thickness using a ruler which should be at least 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) to prevent new parts from being needed. A brake drum gauge will measure the disc diameter for replacement if it crosses 174.0 mm (6.850 inch) tolerance or shows uneven wear. A disc inside surface with chalk marks allows inspectors to gauge proper contact of the brake lining through disc grinding when necessary. High-temperature grease should be applied to specified components before disassembly in the opposite sequence. Adjustments to parking brake shoe clearance begin by first placing hub nuts and removing the hole plug to expand tires until lock occurs before returning the regulator 8 times then reinstalling the hole plug. To settle the parking brake shoes and disc you must drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) speed then apply 98 N (10 kgf, 19.8 lbs) of lever force through multiple sessions of 400 meters (0.25 mile), conduct a final check to adjust the parking brake lever travel.
