Toyota Land Cruiser - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Land Cruiser J200, MK 11 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Hand brake
Operation: Guide to replacing the Toyota Land Cruiser handbrake cable.

The instructions below will show us the process of disassembling and replacing the handbrake lever cable of the Toyota Land Cruiser. First, we get inside the vehicle and start by removing the plastic cover of the central tunnel, and then the handbrake lever. Then, we lift the vehicle to disconnect the handbrake cable at the bottom, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace the sheathed cable with the new one, and finally adjust the handbrake lever. Lastly, we reassemble all the components of the central tunnel.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
