2009 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove the parking brake cable on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The process for removing the parking brake cable begins with removal of the 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. Slowly release the parking brake pedal and disconnect the assembly that controls parking brake number 1. Vehicles with 3UR-FE engines require removal of the front No. 2 exhaust pipe assembly and vehicles with 2UZ-FE engines need both the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly together with the front No. 2 exhaust pipe assembly to be taken out. Unbolt the adjustment nut then lock nut (A), the bolt (B) and cable retainer before unhooks the nut (C) and clamp from the body to let go of the clamp (D) that connects to the No. 1 parking brake cable. Inside the vehicle remove the 2 bolts marked E and eventually pull out the No. 1 parking brake cable without subjecting the cable to bending or twisting. After removing the rear wheels LH and RH perform the same procedure for both sides to disconnect the rear disc brake cylinder assembly LH and RH. Drain the rear disc brakes LH and RH as well as the parking brake shoe return spring LH and RH followed by the No. 1 parking brake shoe assembly LH and RH and No. 2 parking brake shoe assembly LH and RH. Then extract the parking brake shoe lever LH and RH and the intermediate lever tension spring. Normal procedure to remove the No. 2 cable retainer includes removing the bolt alongside the cable retainer while the next step involves separating the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly by first removing it from the intermediate lever and then the 4 bolts to disconnect it from the frame without allowing cable bending or twisting. EndTasks include disconnecting the No. 3 parking brake cable from the carrier and then disconnecting the assembly from the intermediate lever and frame using 8 bolts before removing the cable and bolt from the carrier.
