Parking brake cable replacement

[Keymaster]

Hello guys! I was wondering if anyone has ever came across a service manual, for the European yaris with disk brakes on the back. I am trying to find something around but I am having a hard time with that.

I want to check out how much work does it need to replace the parking brake cable. It was rather difficult to take it out from the calipers that I am trying to replace, due to rust/dust etc and I was checking around how can I replace it.

Any thought or ideas are highly welcome. :thumbup:

I changed mine on my rusted Echo and it's fairly strait forward. I didn't drop my exhaust as it was old and rusted , it was was pain to work around that. I recommend dropping the mid piper for better access.

Just disconnect I from the parking brake lever as well at the brake drum. Then remove the whole assembly. There are a few 10mm bolts holding the cable to the car. 2 of mine we do rusted the bolt heads sheared off and a bolt extractor wouldn't work as they were so badly seized. I just zip tied the cable to stay under the car and it worked fine.

Jack up the car and folow the cable from the drum to inside the car and inspect the bolts. It'll give you a better idea of what you're in for

Cool, I was checking the service manual for the ones with the drum on rear and various videos on different cars (I cannot find something with Yaris) and it's more or less what you have described.
I ordered a new cable and when it comes I will proceed (be aware for a DIY :smile: ).
Yeah I guess that I will find some rusty bolts as well.

Did you get this job done?

How does one remove the parking brake cable from the drum? I have apart the drum, I cannot see a non destructive way to remove the cable. The cable is fine I just need to get it out of the drum so I can drop the axle.
