• Q: How to install the parking brake cable on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: The first step to install the parking brake cable includes using the 2 claw mechanisms to attach a new support clamp to the cable through its claws. You should place the parking brake cable inside the disc brake cylinder before locking the clip claws of the cable into position on the rear disc brake cylinder guide. After connecting the cable end to the rear disc brake cylinder operation lever, install the parking brake cable within the body, secure it with 5 bolts that require a torque of 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf). Connect the cable clamp before you put in the rear floor side member cover. The next operations entail installing front No. 2 floor heat insulator using 3 nuts at 5.5 Nm torque (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) before using the same torque value for front No. 1 floor heat insulator. The center exhaust pipe comes after the front floor center brace installation. The parking brake end stopper gets installed through the engagement of the two claws onto the parking brake equalizer before adding the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly in the same manner. Secure the parking brake equalizer to the No. 2 and then to the No. 3 parking brake cable assemblies according to the same connection steps. The technician should install the parking brake lever sub-assembly followed by adjusting the parking brake lever travel before finally installing the console box mounting bracket with 5 bolts torqued to 27 Nm (275 kgf-cm, 20 ft-lbf). The installer should build the console box assembly while also putting in place the console box carpet followed by the upper console panel sub-assembly. Install the rear wheel while tightening it to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) before conducting an exhaust gas leak check.
