  • Hand brake shoe replacement

    Has anyone changed the shoes on their hand brake recently?

    If so, how did you do it? How does the rear axle separate from the handbrake backing plate? Had mine in bits today to adjust the hand brake shoes and could not work it out. Must be an easy way being a Toyota.

    Cheers

    These should last the life of the car unless you are doing some serious hand brake turns off road :shock:

        Jack up ,take the wheel off, take out the two bolts holding the calliper on ,lift up the calliper ( don't undo the brake pipe). Then the rotor/disc/drum should just pull off . You can then change the handbrake shoes.

          Re: Hand brake shoe replacement

          i've already gone through a set of handbrake shoes. my prado has just passed 50K on the clock, bought new Feb 2009 with 9kms on the clock.

          its a real PITA job, and you need 3 hands to do it. even though the disc comes off the axle flange (where the studs are) the flange is pretty big and covers a lot of the area needed to work in.

          unless you actually pull the axle assembly out, it gets extremely tight and fidgity to get right. you end up trying to clip the pin in several times cos you keep dropping them.

          i didn't get pics, but i will next time i do them. i have a spare set in the garage.

          ps. i do a lot of sandy based clay/mud as well as a lot of black soil mud. so handbrake shoes never last long at all.

            Re: Hand brake shoe replacement

            I had to adjust my handbrake today and it will be a BITA job removing the shoes later. There is a clip that holds the shoe up against the plate.


            Wheel taken off

            Remove calliper mounting bolts (Note when putting back on torque to 105NM) and support callipaer

            Rotor should slide off. May need some WD on the face

            All the crap that gets in (car has done 18000kms. Not much room to work with removing springs etc if needed.

            Cleaned with water and brush. Hair dried the area and used WD (dont get it in the pads) and clean inside the rotor At this point. From here you can tell how to take the shoes off.

            Inspection hole for adjusting screw. (work out which way it goes before putting rotor back on.

            inspection hole with rotor on (not much room, need small flat tip screw driver)

            Screw brake shoes out until they rub constanlty when turning rotor then back off until it partly rubs.
            Use handbrake a couple of times and check clearance. Torque wheel nuts to 112NM I didn't have to adjust inside the cab. Adjustment should allow 5-7 clicks of the handbrake

                    Re: Hand brake shoe replacement

                    Refer to the following photos to adjust handbrake via the centre console:

                    First of all, make sure the vehicle is on level ground and a block behind the wheel to stop it rolling
                    Remove the rubber mat and the two screws


                    Open the lid and pull up on the plastic (top of drink holder) till it unclips then pull up on each corner at the front of the drink holder. The front clips are tight.


                    The following shows the handbrake adjusting nut. Pull the cable up to take the tension off it and then turn the nut towards the passenger seat a few turns. Apply the hand brake and count the clicks. You should have about 5 - 7 clicks. I found 5 works best when you have a heavy trailer on or on a boat ramp.

                      P.S ........... thanks winniliss

                      :arrow: take me off the list, had a crack at it today, pretty straight forward.
                      never lost it .... :x nearly once..

                      :idea: the second side was a pleasure to change.. i worked out the two top springs vary in size.. ( the hard way )
                      when re-assembling, clip the thick one on first then then other, to save " some " swearing and knuckles ops:



                      :idea: put the adjuster in last after the top and bottom springs in place

                      :idea: if you get both rotors off you can use the opposite side to double check the assembly and your memory, when emotions are running hot' :evil:

                      :idea: once its all back assembled before you replace the rotors
                      ... STOP ... triple check all the seating of every cable, spring, clip, shoe and adjuster..
                      you'll find something to correct... now check again... easier now then later.. :wink: you get the drift



                      the rest was pretty straight forward to adjust with both wheels off the ground..



                      ....all up it took me about 2.5 hrs and skin off only 1 knuckle.. and minimal bad language , now :!: I have a handbrake.. hope this helped ...butane

                        Re: Hand brake shoe replacement

                        Can someone describe or show a pic of the park brake shoe adjusting screw?

                        I ask because my old bmw 5 series had a star wheel screw which was oriented at 90 degrees to the little access port in the rotor. You had to use a small flat screwdriver to push the star wheel either up or down to adjust the shoes. It was a pain because you couldn't really see what you were doing.


                        Thanks! Paul

                          Paul,

                          What you have described is the same way a Prado adjuster works. See winniliss pics above for the hole location. You will need the hole right at the bottom. Then use a small flat screwdriver and wind the star wheel in an upwards direction to adjust the shoes out/downwards to wind them in. PITA job sometimes to locate the adjuster but a small point torch will help.

                            Thanks, Chriso. You've at least taken the guess-work out of the screw direction for me!
