Wow that hand brakes system is just like the one on my 1973 Lotus Europa. Just like you I use acid brushes from Harbor Freight along with a magnetic bar to store the brushes when not in use. I have use 4 brushes;
1. Never seize
2. Caliper grease
3. Silicone Grease
4. Wheel Grease
Marketing did away with drum brakes. I remember growing up when both front and rear were drum brakes. Disc brakes are great for front, but I rather have drum brakes in the rear. Great video as always, thanks for bringing us along.

My 2009 has about 94k and the hand brake just started to act funny last week. It seems like it's having trouble disengaging. I don't have any hills to park on so I've just been leaving it in 1st, but my inspection is due this month. Luckily I work at a farm with a lift in the toolshop so maybe I can do this myself if it's needed thanks to your video. Looks like replacement cables are about 55 each. I like the comment about mentioning how long the process takes at the end of the video.

Eric, in the video previous to this one where you started this job you talked about owning your own business and some customers telling you what to do as you are a poor businessman. You mentioned you own your own home, shop, cars etc. I feel for you as we own a small business too and never fails that somebody else is trying to tell you how to run your business. Just ignore those idiots. Keep doing what you do my friend and everything will be fine.

Omg I can't believe you put the brakes back together with the cables not connected inside. You had a good idea leaving the drums off, but a little too late lol. Better to have left the cables off back there and the brakes all apart too while you hooked it up inside, then put the brakes back together like a normal brake job would go.

I no longer buy 401 spray cleaner because their pump-tube stops an inch before the bottom of the bottle (25: 15. Johnson's wax products all have tubes that reach the bottom and then some; the pump-tubes are curved under compression so they fit into the corner the liquid will flow into when you point the spray nozzle down.

Maybe the bottom has fluid film!
I never knew about that product till I saw you use it, and we have it here in Palmdale Ca at Lowe's! WOW! Who knew! We don't have the weather like you, but I know there's places that I can use it similar to WD-40 use. Great Video!

The earlier hiluxes had rear brakes that were a lot easier to take apart and put together. Its a bit of an asshole to get those shoe retainers to locate and turn to lock sometimes. They are popular in New Zealand so you see them on a regular basis.

I appreciate watching and learning. educating oneself to understand what it takes in effort and treasure to maintain a vehicle and particularly in this case, the parking cable replacement, .the bitter medicine ( repair bill estimate ) is easier to take!

Give me drum brakes any day hell I had a 68 olds with 4wheel drum brakes. I know young guys and even some older guys prefer disc brakes over drum because they don't like the springs. And yes does pay more. lol
