2008 Toyota Sequoia Parking Brake Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove the parking brake cable on 2008 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The first step to remove the parking brake cable requires removing front door scuff plate LH, cowl side trim board LH, instrument side panel LH, hood lock control lever sub-assembly, lower instrument panel finish panel sub-assembly LH, and No. 1 instrument panel safety pad insert. You should first release the parking brake pedal then unconnect the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly. During removal of the front No. 2 exhaust pipe assembly you should keep a 3UR-FE engine in mind while vehicles with 2UZ-FE engines require both exhaust pipe assemblies. The procedure requires removing the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly by first removing the adjustment nut and lock nut (labeled A) and then the bolt (labeled B) and cable retainer along with the nut (labeled C) and clamp from the body before disconnecting the clamp (labeled D) from the No. 1 parking brake cable. From inside the vehicle remove both bolts identified as E while taking out the No. 1 parking brake cable without bending or twisting the cable. Both rear wheels need to be orders off before proceeding with the right and left disc brake cylinder assembly removal via identical removal steps. The next step involves taking away the rear disc components LH and RH alongside using the earlier steps to handle both sides. Conceal the parking brake shoe return springs LH and RH. The following step involves removing the parking brake shoe assemblies No. 1 LH and RH along with No. 2 LH and RH using an identical method for each side. Start the removal by taking out the parking brake shoe levers plus the intermediate lever tension spring. Displacement of the No. 2 cable retainer requires detached bolt and cable retainer components. To detach the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly from the intermediate lever along with the removal of 4 bolts allows disconnection from the frame before cable removal while maintaining cable straightness before taking out the bolt and No. 3 parking brake cable from the rear axle carrier. The procedure for the No. 2 parking brake cable assembly includes disconnecting it from the intermediate lever while removing 8 bolts to detach from the frame and extracting bolt and cable from the rear axle carrier.
