Parking Brake

[mpleitez]

What's up fellas,

I am having a problem with my parking brake on my 93. The problem I'm having is I can't get the lever inside the truck to release the parking brake cable. I am able to pull the lever and disengage it but it appears the cable is tangled on the pulley or somewhere along the inside of the cabin and won't release the rear tires to turn. A buddy stated his sisters 4runner a 1st gen did the same thing and he grabbed the cable with a plier and it released. My thought was to try that or get under the truck and rlelase it somehow by diconnecting the cable. Any thoughts? My buddies are wheeeling this weekend and it would be nice to take the runner. I also own a tacoma and wheel that too and that is what all these guys will be driving so it would be nice to show up in the runner and show em what a sputty runner can do:roadkill:. any help is much appreciated.

did you check for binds in the cable allready?

have you tried to lube the cable or any of the moving parts that hold the cable to the truck?this might take 2 people but i know on my 86 their is a arm that holds the cable.or you can lube the arm bolt and see if it helps.the arm that i am talking about on my truck it is located near the rear axel and fuel tank on the passenger side of the truck on the frame.

will these help you? i dont know! but it is a start! just follow the line from the back end to the e brake handle! look for rust or other items that cause your problem!

I got under the runner and removed the pin that locks the rear tires when the parking brake is applied. Once that happened it relesed the brakes. The cable was tangled and i was able to pull on it and straighten it out by pulling on it with a plier. Thanks again.
