PEDAL STROKE

Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS

Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash, etc.) of each component are normal.

Check the following:
–Device assembly for bend, damage and cracks. Replace if there are.
–Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if there are.
–Parking brake switch. Replace if it does not work correctly.
ADJUSTMENT

To perform adjustment operations, remove rear tires from vehicle with power tool.
1. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting
nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake pedal.
2. Secure disc rotor to hub using wheel nut so as not to tilt disc
rotor.
3. Remove adjuster hole plug installed on the disc rotor. Turn the
adjuster in direction “A” using a flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown, until disc rotor is locked. Turn the adjuster in the oppo-
site direction by 5 or 6 notches after locking.
4. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Install the
adjuster hole plug.
5. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. Operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with the force of
full stroke.
b. Rotate adjusting nut to adjust parking brake pedal stroke using a
deep socket wrench.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
c. Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure the pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
d. Make sure that there is no drag on rear brake with parking brake pedal completely released.Pedal stroke : 3 - 4 notches

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne particles or other mate-
rials.
CAUTION:

Clean dust on disc rotor and back plate using a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with com-
pressed air.

Put matching marks on both disc rotor and wheel hub when removing disc rotor.
1. Remove rear tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove disc rotor with parking brake pedal completely in the released position. Refer to BR-30,
"Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly" .
3. If disc rotor cannot be removed, remove as follows:
a. Secure the disc rotor in place with wheel nuts and remove adjuster hole plug.
b. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, rotate adjuster in direction “B” to
retract and loosen brake shoe.
4. Remove anti-rattle pins, retainers, anti-rattle springs, and return
springs.
5. Remove parking brake shoes, adjuster assembly, and toggle
lever.
6. For the removal of back plate, refer to RAX-5, "
Removal and
Installation" .

–Anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.
–Return spring for sagging.

Make sure that adjuster moves smoothly.

Visually check the inside of drum for excessive wear, cracks, and damage. Check the inside of drum using
a pair of vernier calipers.

Replace with new part if the above part is malfunction.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Refer to PB-6, "Components" and apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cupry-
sil) grease or silicone-based grease to the specified points dur-
ing assembly.

Assemble adjusters so that threaded part is expanded when
rotating it in the direction shown by arrow.

Shorten adjuster by rotating it.

Check shoe sliding surface and drum inner surface for grease.
Wipe it off if it adhere on the surfaces.

Perform break-in operation as follows after replacing brake
shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not function well.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke to the specified amount. Refer
to PB-3, "
ADJUSTMENT" .
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving vehicle under the following conditions:
3. Check parking brake pedal stroke of parking brake. Adjust again if it is outside the standard.Drive forward

Vehicle speed: Approx. 40 km/h (25 MPH) set (constant and forward)

Parking brake operating force: Approx. 400 N (40 kg, 89.9 lb) set constant

Time: Approx. 10 sec.
