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

  A: Starting the parking brake cable removal begins by taking off the rear wheel from the vehicle. The next step requires removal of upper console panel sub-assembly together with console box carpet and console box assembly. You need to eliminate the mounting bracket for the console box after unbolting its five components. The next step in the procedure involves taking out the parking brake lever sub-assembly. Use the previous disassembly method for the No. 2 parking brake cable assembly by disconnecting it from the parking brake equalizer. Loosen the two claws controlling the release of the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly from its position at the parking brake cable end stopper. The removal of the parking brake cable end stopper requires you to detach its 2 claws from the parking brake equalizer. The service technician should remove the front floor center brace followed by the removal of the center exhaust pipe assembly. The floor heat insulators should be removed by extracting their attached 3 nuts from the front No. 1 together with the front No. 2 locations. First remove the rear floor side member cover before using pliers to pinch the cable clamp ends and flex the clamp to extract it. To remove the parking brake cable users must take out the 5 bolts then pull it outside of body boundaries. The rear disc brake cylinder operation lever requires disconnecting its cable end followed by using an offset wrench (14 mm) at the parking brake cable base to remove the clip which extracts the cable from the rear disc brake cylinder. Completion of this procedure requires the two claws to be released to remove the parking brake cable support clamp from its position on the parking brake cable.
