2007 Toyota Yaris Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Services and repairs to the parking brake cable start with removal of the center lower instrument panel finish panel for Sedan models then proceed to strip the shift lever knob assembly from Manual Transaxle vehicles along with extracting the shifting hole cover assembly from Manual Transaxle Hatchback platforms. Service begins by taking off the Sedan Sedan upper console panel sub-assembly then continuing with the Hatchback rear console box cover followed by the rear upper console panel sub-assembly and console box carpet before concluding with the rear console box assembly removal. The procedure requires removal of the rear wheel alongside the rear brake drum sub-assembly and the complete rear brake shoe kit. Remove the front No. 4 floor heat insulator by unfastening its 2 nuts. The parking brake cable installation requires removal of connecting the cable end from the equalizer then removing cable clamp A from the body followed by taking out the 4 bolts and pinching both cable clamp B ends with pliers to flex it before removing the bolt that detaches the parking brake cable from the backing plate and cable clamp B from the parking brake cable. Secure the new parking brake cable onto the backing plate by bolting it with 8.0 N m (82 kgf cm, 71 in. lbf) torque after installing new cable clamp B onto the rear axle beam where 4 bolts require a torque of 6.0 N m (61 kgf cm, 53 in. lbf). Transform the parking brake cable through new cable clamp A before attaching it securely to the stud bolt and attaching its terminus to the equalizer. The front No. 4 floor heat insulator installation should proceed using 2 nuts tightened to 5.5 N m (56 kgf cm, 49 in. lbf), before adding the rear brake shoe kit followed by checking the rear drum brake installation before reinstalling the rear brake drum sub-assembly. Use cable end to reinstall rear wheel with torque force set at 76 ft. lbf (1,050 kgf cm, 103 N m). The series of replacement parts includes the rear console box assembly, console box carpet and rear console box cover for the Hatchback, rear upper console panel sub-assembly for the Sedan and shifting hole cover sub-assembly for the Hatchback Manual Transaxle, upper console panel sub-assembly for the Sedan, shift lever knob sub-assembly for the Manual Transaxle and center lower instrument panel finish panel for the Sedan.
