  Q: How to remove the parking brake cable on Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A:

  Starting the removal process of the parking brake cable requires the removal of the parking brake hole cover sub-assembly. During the process, users must remove the shift lever knob sub-assembly from manual transmission vehicles and repeat this step for 4WD vehicles. Begin by unmounting the console upper rear panel sub-assembly then take away both box bottom mat and front console box. You should detach the rear disc brake caliper assembly before removing the rear disc when working on rear wheel maintenance. The service technician should unfasten the parking brake shoe return tension spring alongside the parking brake shoe strut before disconnecting the parking brake shoe. The right-hand side demands removing the parking brake cable heat insulator after taking out its two bolts. The process to detach the parking brake cable includes loosening the adjusting nut followed by disconnecting the cable end from the parking brake pull rod while contracting the spring cap claws to push the parking brake cable slightly out from the vehicle. Loosen 2 bolts to detach the parking brake cable from the parking brake plate after which proceed by taking out 5 bolts and the parking brake cable. You must detach the parking brake cable clamp from the parking brake cable as your last step.

  Q: How to install the parking brake cable on Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A:

  The first step for cable installation includes attaching the parking brake cable clamp before proceeding to install the cable. The installation process requires attaching parking brake cable clamp to the cable followed by securing the cable with 5 bolts at 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) and connecting it to parking brake plate through 2 bolts torqued to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). Put the spring cap inside the body framework while threading the cable end to the parking brake pull rod. Secure the parking brake cable heat insulator to its position by attaching 2 bolts which should be tightened to 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). The sequence for installation starts with high-temperature grease followed by placement of parking brake shoe and parking brake shoe strut and parking brake shoe return tension spring. Perform the parking brake check followed by installation of the rear disc together with adjustment of the parking brake shoe clearance. After this step proceed with installing the rear disc brake caliper assembly as well as the rear wheel using 112 Nm (1,137 kgf-cm, 82 ft-lbf) of torque. Owners of the front console box and box bottom mat should use the console upper rear panel sub-assembly to install the shift lever knob sub-assembly (for 4WD) and the shift lever knob sub-assembly (for Manual Transmission) before installing the parking brake hole cover sub-assembly.
