Question 1

How to install the No.3 parking brake cable assembly and related components on Toyota Solara?

Accepted Answer

The installation of the No.3 parking brake cable assembly requires mounting it to the parking brake equalizer followed by body attachment through 2 nuts and a bolt with specified torque settings of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) for nuts and 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf) for the bolt. Afterward, fasten the backing plate with 2 bolts reaching torque of 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). Complete the procedure by installing the parking brake heat insulator with Secure the backing plate with two bolts that need tightening to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). You should install the parking brake heat insulator by tightening 3 nuts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). High-temperature grease application is required before installing both elements of the parking brake shoe assembly and its corresponding strut LH followed by the parking brake shoe strut compression spring. The installation of the rear disc follows the parking brake shoe return tension spring and checking the parking brake installation before final assembly. The rear disc brake caliper assembly LH gets its installation using two bolts which should be torqued to 47 Nm (480 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf). The mechanical installation of the rear wheel requires a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). The Number 1 parking brake cable assembly must link to the parking brake equalizer system while 2 bolts are tightened to 22 Nm (225 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf). Use the console box mounting bracket No.2 along with 2 bolts tightened to 12.5 Nm (128 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) to secure it while applying No.1 parking brake cable assembly to the parking brake lever assembly through the adjusting nut and lock nut tightened to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). Place the parking brake cable No.1 on the pick using a screwdriver. The final step includes assembly installation of the yaw rate sensor assembly (w/ VSC) while performing any required adjustments to the parking brake lever travel.

Question 2

How to remove the parking brake cable assembly on Toyota Solara?

Accepted Answer

The process of removing the parking brake cable begins with taking out the shift lever knob sub-assembly before uninstalling both the console upper rear panel sub-assembly and the console box assembly. The tech procedure requires removing air duct rear No.1 and air duct rear No.2 after the yaw rate sensor assembly (w/ VSC). Start by releasing the parking brake lever then remove the lock nut as well as the parking brake adjusting nut from the parking brake cable assembly No.1. A screwdriver serves to lift the pick on the parking brake lever and free the parking brake cable assembly Number 1 from connecting to the lever. One should start by removing two bolts along with console box mounting bracket No.2 before extracting the two bolts that link parking brake cable No.1 to the equalizer. Separate the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH by removing its two bolts but keep the flexible hose intact to the brake caliper assembly LH. Remove the rear disc and successively remove the parking brake shoe return tension spring and the parking brake shoe strut compression spring followed by the parking brake shoe itself. The three nuts need to be removed to take off the parking brake cable heat insulator. Complete the removal of the No.3 parking brake cable assembly after first detaching its two bolts from the backing plate before taking out two nuts and a bolt to detach it from the body and then disconnect it from the equalizer.
