• Q: How to service and repair the parking brake cable on 2007 Toyota Avalon?

  A: The service and repair procedure for the parking brake cable demands removing the rear wheel followed by disassembling the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH then removing the rear disc. Remove the parking brake shoe return tension spring followed by parking brake shoe strut LH and parking brake shoe from the system. Start by disconnecting the shift lever knob sub-assembly together with the position indicator housing assembly, console box upper, console panel sub-assembly upper, and console box assembly. Start by detaching the clip from the parking brake equalizer before removing parking brake cable assembly No.3 through two backing plate bolts and four bolts and nut that match the illustration then disconnecting the clamp. To install this assembly position the parking brake cable assembly No.3 to the parking brake equalizer followed by clip attachment then install it with bolts, nut, and clamp while tightening Bolt A to 8.5 N m, Bolt B and Nut to 6.0 N m and connecting it to the backing plate with 2 bolts torqued to 8.0 N m. High-temperature grease must be applied to the surface prior to installing the parking brake shoe and both parking brake shoe strut LH and parking brake shoe return tension spring. The installation of the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH and rear wheel requires checking the parking brake shoe clearance and is completed by torquing the wheel to 103 N m. After proper seating of the parking brake cable assembly No.4 and console box assembly, console panel sub-assembly upper, console box upper, position indicator housing assembly, and shift lever knob sub-assembly, the final step includes inspecting and adjusting parking brake pedal travel.
