2001 Toyota Sequoia Parking Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoe with rear disc brakes on 2001 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Service and repair operations on the parking brake shoe with rear disc brakes should start with removal of the rear wheel while tightening bolts at 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). The rear disc brake assembly should be detached by applying 105 Nm force (1,070 kgf-cm, 77 ft. lbs.) to remove the two mounting bolts before safely suspending it to prevent hose stretching. Start by releasing the parking brake lever and placing matchmarks on the disc and rear axle hub. After that remove the disc but if removal is hard to perform simply adjust the shoe while checking for wheel freedom. Install the shoe strut by slipping in the spring so it faces forward when reconstructing the brake system. First slide the front shoe outward to access the shoe adjuster and disconnect the anchor and tension springs from the front shoe by using needle-nose pliers before pulling out the front shoe using a clip remover while holding the cup. Perform the same shoe service procedure on the rear shoe by removing the parking brake cable from the parking brake shoe lever. Check all separated components for deterioration alongside rust and damage while measuring brake shoe lining thickness up to 4.0 mm but maintaining at least 1.0 mm. Replace any components that do not meet the minimum thickness standard. Check the inside diameter of the disc starting from 210 mm reaching up to 211 mm. Replace it with a new disc when severe wearing occurs or when surface damage appears. Inspect if the parking brake shoe lining properly touches the disc that runs along with it; use adjustments when needed, while also measuring the distance between the brake shoe and lever (the standard should be less than 0.25 mm). New shims must be installed if the measurements exceed the specifications. The procedure ends by adjusting the parking brake shoe clearance through 3 hub nut installation and gradual shoe expansion until disc locking occurs then a 8 notched adjuster return. After all procedures are complete and the 3 hub nuts are temporarily installed use a force of 147 N (15 kgf, 33 lbs.) to depress the parking brake pedal followed by driving at 50 km/h (31 mph) over 400 meters (0.25 mile) two or three times while checking and adjusting the parking brake pedal travel.
