    4 years later and this video is still helping people. Just got mine back from the shop with a failed attempt to adjust. Now I’ll be able to do it right myself. Thanks so much for this comprehensive video. Just the right amount of info for a non-mechanic! Plenty of stuff in here I wouldn’t have known about.

      Don't need to remove the rotor just chalk the front wheels as shown and put the car in neutral so you can rotate the rotors, then remove the rubber plug on the rotor and using a flat head screw driver turn the star adjuster several clicks and then turn the rotor to see if the park brake shoes are staring to rub the hat part of the rotor. If it's not tight enough go a couple more clicks if it's too tight back off a few until it's just barely rubbing and you are good to go!

    Very glad you called it a parking brake and not an emergency brake. I tell my students that think of it this way "if you don't set your parking brake each time you park your vehicle, you may end up with an emergency". And it applied to any kind of vehicle: car, truck, forklift, ATV, etc. Wheel chocking and jack stands are another learned practice that must be done every time. Thanks!

    I've been dissatisfied with my parking brake since I purchased the truck back in 2012. Always seemed worthless and like you my driveway is at a steep incline. I'm changing out the rear pads today and stumbled across this great step by step video. Thank you for posting this!!

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Isn't it nuts?? This is really a fix where one has to strictly follow a specific procedure for it to work right. Most cars are fairly straightforward but on the Tundra it MUST be done the way I've shown it otherwise you get sub optimal performance.

    • @ToogiDesign
      @ToogiDesign 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@piercedasian I appreciate Toyotas outlook of keeping things simple and functional...this is a case that they took it too far! get an auto adjuster in there please!

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I 100% agree. Parking brakes typically don't have an auto adjuster but it would cost them pennies to put one in every car. Auto adjust every time you used the parking brake just like how good old drum brakes were designed!

  • @larrybar56

    Thanks for this video. I have been struggling with a non-working parking brake for what seems like forever. After I found your video and attempted to follow it, it became apparent that something else was wrong. Living in New England and having to deal with snow, sand and salt gives rise to lots of rust. The adjuster, under the driver's door, was so rusted that it hardly moved. I didn't even try to clean it up and make it work, I just got a new one (it was cheap, about $28). I also replaced the spring that connects it to the rear cables too. Now my parking brake is adjusted correctly and works like a dream!
    If anyone else has this problem, here are few notes and tips:
    The rear cables have little cylinders on the ends that fit into the adjuster. These will be corroded and stuck, I just used a screwdriver to bend the adjuster so I could get them out. The adjuster is held to the frame rail with 2 bolts that go through the frame rail into 2 nuts that are spot welded under the frame rail. I soaked them for a day with PB Blaster. They came out, but seemed very tight the whole way out. Once out, it looked like they red Loctite on the threads. So, some heat would have probably helped with that.
    I also used a tap and die set to clean up all the threads on the 2 bolts that attach it to the frame rail, plus the adjuster nut, the jam nut and the threads on the front cable that goes through the adjuster arm. Well worth the time to do that as it made re-installation so much easier. I believe all of these were M8. (can't recall if they are 1.0 or 1.25 pitch)
    For installation, clean up the rear cable ends well so they will slide back into the new adjuster. Attach the outside (closest to the door) cable first then attach the inner (closest to the center of the truck) second. Then put in the two bolts that hold it to the frame rail. Finally, adjust the cable as described in this video to give you that tiny gap at the top of brake shoes near the stop block.
    Oh, and once the new adjuster was in, I sprayed white lithium grease on all the articulation points and then sprayed everything with a coat of T9 anti corrosion protectant. I hope that helps keep the rust at bay. I will check it after each winter to re-lubricate.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      glad you were able to figure out your parking brake! Wow that is a lot of work to get a parking brake fixed but to your point your climate takes its toll on your truck components. Good on you for sharing your tips and experiences. That helps everyone reading this page!
      Good idea to check your parking brake cables yearly. Does frequent washing of the undercarriage help slow the rusting down? Where I live we do use salt in the winter but I make sure that every week I take my truck in for a wash specifically targeting the areas that build up junk underneath.

    • @larrybar56
      @larrybar56 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I use the truck in the spring/summer/fall to tow my trailer. Winter I only use it in bad weather, so it doesn't get a lot of miles on it per year. I don't wash it as much as I should, that's for sure. But, I will try to be better about that and see if it helps curb the rust. I got it used, so I really don't know the condition of the adjuster at that time. It could have been all rusted up before I bought it. It was 3 years old when I bought it.

    5* Rating. You solved my problem which originated in the Chilton Toyota Tundra 2007-12 Sequoia 2008-12 "68610" ->Brakes section->9-21 item->12 Parking brake - adjustment. It states "All parking brake systems are self adjusting; automatic adjusters compensate for brake shoe wear." When you explained there is no lever to adjust the star wheel and therefore is Not self-adjusting, I was liberated. You sir, are a Great Canadian.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The guys at Chilton amaze me at how inaccurate some of their documentation can be. Then again the guys that built the damn truck got it all wrong too so I guess it's a draw between Chilton and factory toyota techs! Glad you liked my vid. Share with all your friends!

    @williamherman5467 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 2010 that has never had a parking brake. The adjustment at the dealer when I first purchased the truck and took it back for adjustment only caused the truck to drive with the brakes on all the time, they adjusted the cable only. I had to loosen the cable in order to drive. I just found your video and will finally adjust my brakes properly. Wish I would have found it so many years ago.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @brewmanism
    @brewmanism 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I purchased my used 2007 Tundra in 2009. Since I've had the truck the parking brake never really engaged properly. I've taken it to a couple of shops in an attempt to correct/improve the parking brake performance. The results of those visits never improved the issue. Mechanics would mostly fiddle with the cable mechanism under the driver side. I've been towing a 22 foot boat since I've had the truck. In that time, my routine at the boat had launch was a pain in the ass. I'd have to send out my son and have him chalk the truck tires because I feared my truck would possibly slip into the lake along with the boat if I hadn't taken such measures. Zero confidence in the parking brake
    That had been the case until today, the day I came across your awesomely detailed video presentation. I followed it to the T and a couple hours later, absolute success! From Zero to 100 confidence in my parking brake and the satisfaction of completing the job myself under your direction. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge in such a well explained/detailed manner.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      wow since 2009 you've had a terrible parking brake? Mind blowing how pretty much every Tundra (and even possibly other models) left the factory in the manner that it did. I am so glad to hear that you've got renewed confidence in the parking brake. Toyota makes a great truck it is just that the pesky parking brake is a nuisance. Glad it all got sorted out for you.

    Thank you! Video was very well done. My parking brake on my 2007 Tundra was siezed. The back parking brake cables had been replaced just before I bought the truck. So, I replaced the front cable, the cable pivot assembly located underneath the driver size door, and the parking brake pads, springs, and adjusters on both sides. Your video helped me replace the parts and then, most importantly, properly adjust the parking brake, which is not intuitive. Also, as I was watching you make the adjustment on the cable pivot assembly under the driver's door, I observed a blue spring in the background that my truck didn't have (it must've been removed when they replaced the back cables before I bought the truck.) I went out and bought the spring from Toyota, and the end result was a perfectly operating and perfectly adjusted parking brake assembly on a 13 year old truck, which is a great thing. Again, thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. I would not have done this job right without it and would've been missing a key spring.

    • @piercedasian

  • @andye9026
    @andye9026 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently upgraded my 4th gen 4Runner brakes to 5th gen pads, rotors, calipers. After about 10 miles of driving this terrifying, rhythmic clunking developed which after a few days and a couple mechanics has led me to believe that my parking brake is causing the issue. The forums have told me that the 5th gen rotors in the rear have a larger hub size (less than 2 mm) and that could cause the rotor to be off center. Which, may be true, and I have ordered 4th gen calipers just in case. But after watching your excellent video, I think an extensive overhaul of the parking brake may be all I need. Thank you so much for posting this.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmm, this is interesting. I don't know much about toyota brake swaps but it sounds cool! I used to do swaps on a lot of the Hondas. If you follow my adjustment vid you will most certainly have an awesome parking brake. Every person that's followed this vid has said their parking brake works like it should :)

    • @andye9026
      @andye9026 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Turns out that I had two problems. One was that one of the retaining spring on the parking brake was bent and was causing it to scrap and catch on the hub. Also switched to 4th gen rotors and fixed all the issues. Thanks again for your video.
      As far the the upgrade goes: bigger pads and caliper and bigger rotors up front has made a HUGE difference in stopping power for me.

      we don't get that much snow and salt. We're already in a region that gets above freezing temps most of the winter and we only use salt as needed which isn't often. If I lived in eastern Canada then that is a totally different story. They use a LOT of salt.

    Thank you for an outstanding video.
    I've been taking parts off the back of my truck all afternoon to find the source of an intermittent rubbing noise. I'm pretty sure at this point at its the parking brake. It's obvious from looking at the mechanisms how the basics work, but I didn't know how to properly adjust it.You're video will allow me to do that (once it stops raining).
    I rely on TH-cam a lot to help me with my vehicles, and your video is among the best that I've seen. Your camera work is great - good angles, lighting, and steady shot. Likewise for the audio; clear and easy to understand. I appreciate your before-and-after demos and, of course, proper focus on safety.
    P.S. Thanks for mentioning the torque specs on the caliper mounting bolts. That information isn't always readily available online (or, god forbid, even lug nut torque in the owner's manual) and I like to snug them by the book.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      glad you liked the video! This specific video is one of my more detailed ones because there is a fair bit of adjustments and checks involved. The rubbing noise on the Tundra CAN also be related to a faulty rear axle bearing. I experienced this weird rubbing noise on turns emanating from the rear of my truck and when I took it to the dealership and told them my suspicions that they confirmed I was 100% correct that the rear axle bearing had failed and was causing the rubbing noise. New bearing and all is good. Rear bearing failures on the Tundra are a known issue so if your parking brake once adjusted properly still sounds like it rubbing then chances are that it can be a bad bearing.

    • @oneofmany2573
      @oneofmany2573 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For posterity, my noise turned out to be the... back plate?... of the parking brake. I'm not sure what the name of the part is, but I'm talking about the piece of metal that the shoes/springs/adjuster/etc. are attached to. Once I removed the rotor / parking brake drum, I could see some grooves in the back plate where the drum was rubbing. I bent it a few mm out of the way, and the noise is gone.
      Thanks for the tip about the axle bearing. I assume that the intermittent nature of my noise was just due to normal stresses on the wheels when cornering. I couldn't cause the noise, nor detect any play in the wheel, by jiggling things by hand when up on the jack stands; I needed the weight of the truck to manifest the problem. That said, perhaps my bearing is starting to wear, and this is just an early symptom. I'll keep a closer eye on them from now on.
      At any rate, a nice by-product of this endeavor is a pair of well-tuned parking breaks. The brakes themselves are dialed in, the pedal slack is gone, and I freed a bunch of rusted parts where the cables come together under the driver's door. And best of all, I found the missing third key in a hide-a-key while I was under there! Now my wife won't have to come rescue me the next time Iock my own keys in the cab (and in the ignition, no less - thanks a lot, Toyota).
      TL;DR - Thanks a lot for your follow-up about the axle bearing.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is the gap is necessary? Why not just adjust the star wheel on both sides?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      the gap is to ensure the upper portion of the shoes is tensioned correctly such that when you DO actuate the parking brake that the show extends fully against the inside of the rear discs. If you didn't create the tiny gap and only adjust the star wheel then you could run into a situation where there is:
      1. too much cable slack
      2. The lower portion of the shoes may only contact a portion of the rear disc brake assembly.
      The idea here is to ensure your "reference starting point" is precise. You'll notice that I un-tensioned the cable, only to re-tension it to get the cable to JUST tighten enough to start moving the shoes. It is definitely easier to explain in person than it is via text on a youtube comments section.

    Warning if you try this. You have to leave the key in the ignition to keep the transmission in neutral so be sure to do this before you remove the break caliper. If you press the break ( to move the gear shifter) after removing the caliper the piston will move out of the caliper and you will have to rent a compression tool to get it back in place. Update I found out you can compress the caliper piston with a large C clamp if you have one and avoid the trip to the auto parts store.

    Great video. You explained everything succinctly and clearly. When I changed the pads on the rear of my 2007 Tundra I only adjusted the parking brakes from the outside of the drum. I didn't take the rotor off to see inside and assumed it was self adjusting. No wonder my parking brake sucks. I now have another to do item on my list. At least now I can do it right. Thanks.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you liked the video. Yes it is REMARKABLE at how bad the factory parking brake is. You've gotta get your baseline parking brake adjusted right and you have to repeat the process whenever you put new brake rotors on as the clearances on brake rotors are slightly different which WILL impact parking brake performance.

      @rogerallen8760 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      So I sprayed the cable adjuster with penetrating fluid a few times, letting it soak in between sprays, then backed off the cables all the way with no problems. I was concerned that the salt here in MA would have made it more difficult than it was. The gap on the drivers side would not go as small as I would have liked, even though the cables and levers seemed to be moving freely. The passenger side was good. Set the star wheels, and re-adjusted the cables. Parking brake now works well!

      Yeah the parking brake adjustments outlined by the Toyota service manual is useless at best. I bought the truck from Toyota and specifically asked them to tighten up the parking brake and they said "yep we did that and all is good". I go to pickup my truck and what do I discover? Parking brake is still useless. Rather than wasting my time with the dealership (which is only following the factory approved instructions) that I took it upon myself to adjust it. Lo and behold the first kick at the can resulted in a perfect parking brake. Amazes me how Toyota can let their trucks leave the factory in the state they're in.

    @spudman1125R 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you very much for making this video! Unfortunately, after following your procedure exactly as you suggested, I still have literally no parking brake functionality. I'm at a complete loss at this point. The first thing I noticed was that the entire adjuster arm mechanism under the driver's door was rusted tight. Nothing was pivoting like it should and I didn't want to do all the other work without fixing this problem first. So, I removed the rusty part and replaced it with a brand new one. I also cleaned up the cable adjusting rod threads and loosened both the stop nut and barrel nut so as to have no tension on the cables before I began the rest of the job. I decided as long as I was going to do this, I'd put in brand new shoes and pads right away. I bought Raybestos shoes and a Raybestos hardware kit. I completely cleaned everything, installed the new shoes and hardware and adjusted everything exactly as you detailed. I then finished the rear brake job and bolted my wheels back on. When I got into the vehicle and applied the parking brake, I was pretty excited, as that pedal felt more solid than it ever had before. Sadly, when I put the truck in drive, it rolled forward as though there was no parking brake engaged whatsoever. At this point, I don't know what my next step should be. I can't imagine that anything else could be rusted, as it appears the rest of the cabling system is enclosed inside of rubber or plastic hose (from the adjuster arm mechanism to the parking brake pedal up front and from the adjuster arm mechanism to each of the two rear wheels). Do you think I should start by adjusting the threaded rod on the adjuster mechanism to put more tension on the cables going to the rear wheels? Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated. This parking brake issue has been a thorn in my side since I bought the truck new in 2007. It never worked well from the start, but at least it held "somewhat" when it was new. Over the years, it held less and less...and it finally got to the point that it didn't hold at all. Believe it or not, I only have 38,000 miles on the truck! You read that correctly...as I have several motorcycles and another car that I drive regularly. One final bit of info....here is a link to the video I followed to install the new adjuster arm mechanism under the driver's side door: th-cam.com/video/pJ_Yxpr2Zps/w-d-xo.html

    Thanks for taking the time to put this walkthrough together! I'm replacing my rear rotors and pads on my 07 Tundra dc and want to tackle the parking brake adjustment while I have it all apart. It has never been right (go figure) but I never use it here in Florida unless I'm at the ramp launching my boat.
    I think this procedure should work for my wife's FJ as well (4 wheel disc brakes). The parking brake was never right and now it won't set when you pull up on the brake lever beside the console.
    I gave up on the "stealership" working on our vehicles when they jacked up my alignment and destroyed my factory alloys with an impact gun. It was bad enough they didn't torque them to 97 ft-lbs. either. I had to get a 1/2" breaker bar to free up my lug nuts when I installed my new rims/tires. I guess the techs are under the gun to get every non-warranty job out as quickly as possible in order to make money.

    • @piercedasian

It wasn't until they followed it EXACTLY as shown that their parking brakes now work flawlessly.

    I’ve had always had a problem with my e-brake and the repair shop said the same thing about the cable. Thank you so much for the detailed information. I’ll have mine fixed with when I put on my new rotors this week rotors.

      Yeah it is remarkable how BAD Toyota set the parking brake specs at the factory. Completely unacceptable. You'll be SUPER happy with the ebrake when you're done adjusting. My e-brake years later still works perfectly.
