• Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Cable Assembly No.3 on 2005 Scion tC?

  A: A proper method to change the Parking Brake Cable Assembly No.3 starts by uninstalling the rear wheel before you disconnect the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH and then dismount the rear disc. Execute the following operation sequence by first using Special Service Tool: 09718-00010 to detach the parking brake shoe strut LH and learn how to remove the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set and parking brake shoe assembly LH No.1. Begin by taking out the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.2 and proceed to extract the parking brake cable assembly No.3 by means of removing its bolt to free it from the backing plate. The exhaust pipe assembly center and parking brake cable heat insulator and fuel tank protector No.1 can be removed by removing the 5 bolts. Disconnect the parking brake cable assembly No.3 by first removing cable retainer bolts from the body followed by four body bolts before detaching it from the parking brake equalizer and pulling it out. The new parking brake cable assembly No.3 requires a connection to the parking brake equalizer that requires torquing bolt A to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 inch lbs.) and torquing bolt B to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). The installation sequence includes first torquing the 5 fuel tank protector No.1 bolts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.) and subsequently adding the parking brake cable heat insulator before putting the exhaust pipe assembly center into place. After connecting assembly No.3 of the parking brake cable to the backing plate with its bolt, tighten the bolt to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.) then apply high temperature grease to the shoe attaching surface on the backing plate. First install the parking brake shoe lever LH before proceeding with the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.2 through Special Service Tool: 09718-00010 followed by the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.1 and the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set and the parking brake shoe strut LH. The procedure requires reinstalling the rear disc followed by attaching the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH while setting the parking brake shoe clearance before installing the rear wheel and torquing it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Complete settling of brake shoes as well as the disc and inspect the parking brake lever for travel before necessary adjustment for final exhaust leak inspection.
