2006 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to overhaul the parking brake shoe on the RH side on 2006 Toyota Matrix?

  A: Overhauling the parking brake shoe on the RH side requires following the same step-by-step process as on the LH side by starting with rear wheel removal. The rear brake caliper assembly LH needs to be disconnected before removing the rear disc brake and the wheel turns freely through adjusting the shoe when the disc is hard to remove. A brake drum gauge should be used to check the inside diameter of the brake disc where measurements need to fall between 173 mm (6.81 inch) and 174 mm (6.85 inch). You can remove the parking brake shoe strut LH by first unscrewing its two upper side tension springs with needle-nose pliers before extracting the strut from its position. The procedure to remove the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set begins with removing both the anchor side tension spring and screw set components. Special Service Tool 09718-00010 enables removal of the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.1 by first removing its hold-down compression spring and hold-down spring pin and lastly the assembly itself. The procedure must be repeated for the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.2 by detaching it from the parking brake shoe lever LH. A ruler should be used to verify that shoe linings reach 3.5 mm (0.138 inch) thickness and have no less than 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) thickness. Brush chalk on the inner disc surface to check contact quality with the lining and adjust it with a brake shoe grinder or exchange the assembly. Remove the parking brake shoe lever LH following disconnecting the parking brake cable assembly No.3. High-temperature grease needs application on the backing plate shoe attached surface before reinstalling both the parking brake lever LH and its cable assembly connection. High-temperature grease should be applied to the parking brake shoe assembly LH No.2 before installation with Special Service Tool: 09718-00010 and the use of hold-down compression spring and hold-down spring pin. The installation process for parking brake shoe assembly LH No.1 should be repeated once more. Install the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set along with its tension spring only after applying high-temperature grease to both the adjusting bolt and support piece. The left-hand parking brake shoe strut requires high-temperature grease on contact points before its installation with upper side tension springs secured into their respective grooves. Confirm all components are correctly located and verify that oil and grease remains off the shoe lining friction surface and disc. Adhere the rear disc in place and modify the parking brake shoe clearance through the temporary attachment of hub nuts and hole plug extraction followed by shoe expansion until the disc becomes locked. After the disc moves freely the adjuster should be contracted to achieve 8 notches before reinstalling the hole plug and rear disc brake caliper assembly LH. Reinstall the rear wheel with 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) torque. The hole plug must be securely installed after eliminating brake drag during installation of the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH and the rear wheel application using 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) torque. Check and readjust the parking brake lever travel during the last steps of the process.
