• Q: How to install the parking brake cable and related components on 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Begin parking brake cable installation with the No. 2 parking brake cable assembly that mandates securing the No. 2 parking brake cable clamp while attaching it with 6 bolts torqued to 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). After installing the fuel tank you must attach the claws of the No. 2 parking brake cable before connecting it to the No. 1 parking brake pull rod. The No. 3 parking brake cable assembly needs installation of its clamp before attaching six bolts with 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque and then attaching claws for connection to the No. 1 parking brake pull rod. Proceed to install the parking brake shoe lever sub-assembly LH and then add the No. 2 and No. 1 parking brake shoe assemblies LH while finishing with the parking brake shoe return spring. The front suspension braking system requires setting up the parking brake system followed by installing the rear disc and attaching the rear disc brake cylinder assembly LH with two bolts torqued to 95 Nm (969 kgf-cm, 70 ft-lbf). During this process ensure the brake hose remains untwisted and both bolts remain undamaged while free of foreign matter. Check the parking brake lever travel before mounting the rear wheel which needs to be torqued to 131 Nm (1336 kgf-cm, 97 ft-lbf). Install the rear console box sub-assembly (without cool box), followed by the cooling box assembly (with cool box), the rear console end panel sub-assembly, the No. 1 cooler cover (with cool box), the upper console panel sub-assembly, the console cup holder box sub-assembly, the rear upper console panel sub-assembly, the lower center instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, the shift lever knob sub-assembly, the lower instrument panel pad sub-assembly RH, the No. 1 instrument panel finish panel cushion, the lower instrument panel pad sub-assembly LH, and the No. 2 instrument panel finish panel cushion. Parenthesis of the front seat assembly LH (with cool box) must be completed followed by refrigerant charging (with cool box) then engine heating (with cool box) and refrigerant gas leak inspection (with cool box).
