- The parking brake on Steve’s car won’t hold the car on the driveway. So he brings you along to adjust the parking brake and shows you the tools needed to do the job.
To see all of the tools that I use and recommend, visit the Tool Demos store: www.amazon.com/shop/tooldemos

Hey this is the most simple, easiest vid I've seen on adjusting this brake, thank you very much!
I’m glad it helped.
Thank you, straight to the point video and simple to follow, now my handbrake works👍
Great to hear!
not sure why, but this problem has been an issue on a few of the cars we have had over the years ...nice to finally know why this happens & how to fix, thanks much Steve !
Hey that’s neat! Happy wrenching.
@@ToolDemos thanks so much, all the best to you as well my friend !!
Hey, this video was helpful today! Thank you for making it.
I appreciate you saying that, thanks.
Love it! Keep them coming
Thanks, Mike. Got a project series starting in a few weeks. It’ll be unlike my regular stuff, but should be fun. I hope.
You made this soooooo easy for me! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Thank you for the simple explanation
Glad it was helpful.
Great video ! Much appreciated ❤
Glad it was helpful.
Tool demos gracias por tu information continua por fabor me sirbio mucho gracias 👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
De nada Rogelio, te lo agradezco.
God bless you thanks man fron Spain
Thank you 🙏
Can you make a video on how to do this on pedal style parking brake? Like on your highlander
That’s a good idea. I’m putting that on the list, thanks.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👍
You’re welcome
Thank you
Sure thing, Ahmad. Glad I could help.
Gracias gringos greating from Guatemala.
Hola Salvadore, de nada.
The only small quirk I find in this video is that you put the center console back over the hand brake, before the function test. Is that necessary? If you needed further adjustment it just seems like you're putting it back on, then off, then on again, seemingly wasting time. Unless the console needs to be in place for some reason that I missed?
Good catch Chief. I may have tested it off camera, but I don’t remember. If not, you’re right - that could’ve been a waste of time.
I did rear brakes (drums) all new and stop good but now the e brake is loose goosey (it wasn’t before) it still holds when it’s all the way up
I hope this helps.
When would you adjust at the handbrake versus adjusting the star wheel at the brake itself?
Do the brake shoes first. If it still needs adjustment, then adjust at the hand lever.
High great video Thanks, do you know what model year Corolla this procedure covers? Thanks again
That generation lasted between ‘02 and ‘08.
@@ToolDemos ...mine is a '98 but I'm sure the procedure is the same for actual adjustment but the center console is probably attached a little different, I'm not going to mess with it until after replacing the rear brakes later this week, I probably won't have to adjust at all.
@@harryberry474 perfect! Make sure your brakes are adjusted properly at the drum first, then adjust the cable if necessary.
Good idea is to have the back of the car jacked up, so you can adjust the handbrake slightly by turning the back wheels to see if they are biting. Don’t put the centre consul back until you have done this.
Good tip.
Hi My handbrake are so hard to put it back down can you help me in resolving the issue?or is it needs mechanic?Please help.Thanks in advance.
Hi Hafsa. Try lifting the handle slightly, then push the button in and lower the handle. When you lift the handle, it should take the tension off of the release button.
@@ToolDemos Thank you for your reply but the Lifting if the handle is main issue as i need 2 hands to lift it a bit and then release it with button.
@@hafsavohra1879 ok, thanks. I suspect you have either a mechanical problem inside your brake drum, or a brake cable that has rust on the inside, making it hard to operate. If it is the cable, it must be replaced.
Will this work for the 2003 Corolla
Yes, they’re both the same generation car.
What year is ths??????
2006 Corolla S
Maybe check the back brakes for wear first, only do this as a last resort.
Exactly right: 0:24
Okay, hold on a second, I gotta give you some - - C. C.-- , cuz the "emergency handbrake" is a strong indication that your brakes are wearing out, & or they are not properly adjusted, for the "rear brakes" that is, also that metal cable will stretch but ONLY after like 30-40 thousand years and maybe a very, very small tiny Bit, that's why the engineers put that type of device...
Sorry bro but BRAKES, is one of my biggest pet peeves, and you do not want to mess around with that at all do it right or learn how to do it right or get somebody to do it for you.,
Peace out - ✌️, See you in the next one....
Okay, thanks Daniel.
@@ToolDemos, Your Welcome,
buddy, although nice VID,
but still, I could not let this one go,
& knowing that some one could get hurt, and I'm also a mechanic too..
GOD BLESS, & Take care!!!, 👊👋
You were right to bring up the idea of adjusting the brakes, Daniel. I briefly mentioned that in the video but perhaps I could’ve done a better job explaining it. I certainly would not want somebody to overlook their brake shoes and potentially get hurt. I truly appreciate your professional advice and your prayers, thank you.
Daniel C ... It's been my experience that parking brake cables do stretch, I've had it happen to me and seen it on other cars too. You're right though about checking for worn brakes or not adjusted correctly first (typically worn though) but cables can stretch too if you're the type that really reads on your brake handle.
