  Q: How to replace parking brake cable assembly No.3 on Scion xA?

  A: The replacement of parking brake cable assembly No.3 requires starting by removing the console box assembly rear and disturbing wire adjusting nut No.1. The front floor panel brace gets its 2 bolts removed so you can extract the Exhaust Pipe assembly front. The maintenance continues with removal of both bolts and front floor heat insulator No.2. The four bolts holding parking brake cable assembly No.3 allow the disconnecting of this component both from the body and from the parking brake equalizer. The work sequence begins with the removal of the rear wheel before moving on to taking out the rear brake drum sub-assembly followed by front brake shoe then rear brake automatic adjust lever LH and finally the rear brake shoe. Proceed to take out the rear brake parking brake shoe lever sub-assembly before disconnecting parking brake cable assembly No.3 from its position on the backing plate. Fasten parking brake cable assembly No.3 to the parking brake cable equalizer after connection while tightening 4 bolts to a torque value of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). High-temperature grease application is followed by installation of the rear brake parking brake shoe lever sub-assembly, rear brake shoe, rear brake automatic adjust lever LH, and front brake shoe while utilizing Special Service Tool: 09718-00010. The rear drum brake installation needs verification before adding rear brake drum sub-assembly and adjusting rear drum brake shoe clearance to reinstall the rear wheel with torque set at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbs). Install the front floor heat insulator No.2 using two bolts which require torque application to 5.5 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). You should connect the exhaust pipe assembly front and floor panel brace front using 2 bolts which need to be torqued to 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 18 ft. lbs.). The last steps require checking the parking brake lever travel and installing the console box assembly rear while also inspecting for exhaust gas leaks.
