This is great. My parking brake hasnt been working and this should be a great place to start. Thanks, Viktor.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Happy to help!

Excellent information. Worked exactly the same on my 2008 RX 350. I was almost finished until I accidently pushed the rubber plug too far and it fell into the rotor.... so I had to take off the rotor to retrieve it. What should have been an easy 15 min job, turned into 2 hours. I was so upset. LOL.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thanks Ryan, I’m glad you were able to sort it out after that little mishap :)

[@NoobyPenguin801]

​@Viktor_G_Automotive it's not going to hurt my vehicle if the dust plug got thrown away is it?

[@NoobyPenguin801]

Do you need to adjust the parking brakes everytime we change the brake pads and rotors?

[@InfoManWDw]

Fantastic video Viktor, just the right speed and full of information!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Awesome Job Viktor " Cheers "

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thank you sir!

[@thomasgarcia606]

Well shoot!.... i just did the rear brakes on my 2010 literally today..and didn't do anything to the e brake. I'll have to do that first chance I get now. The car seemed to be driving fine today though.

[@thomasgarcia606]

Thank you Viktor for all the rx 350 videos!!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Absolutely!

[@yd1316]

should the parking brake on or off when we adjust it?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Off

[@yd1316]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thank you. i just did, but the parking brake become looser, when the parking brake is off, after the adjustment, if the wheel is not spin is it okay? i thought the tonight’s should be moving while it’s off and right while the parking brake is engaged

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@yd1316 it should move with the ebrake disengaged and not move with the ebrake engaged. The video shows the whole process in detail, including the cable adjustment at the pedal if the pedal still moves down too far after adjusting at the wheels.

[@robertyork383]

Is that why it makes a clicking sound is that what it comes from the parking brake

[@robertyork383]

I have a 06 250 rear wheel drive and clicking on the left rear tire

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@robertyork383 Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to figure out what is causing the noise without being there and diagnosing it.

[@popescu499]

Do both rear wheels need to be up in the air ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Not necessarily. I can’t recall if the rear diff coupler is disconnected from the driveshaft when the ignition is off or not. Lift one rear corner and see if you can turn the wheel that is in the air. If you can, you are good to go. If you can’t, try putting the transmission in neutral (make sure the vehicle cannot roll away by chocking the wheels). If it still doesn’t work, you will have to lift both rear wheels. Naturally, the ebrake has to be off during this process.

[@wyeung168]

Does the turning direction change when adjusting the other side of the wheel?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

No, the other side adjuster is threaded in the opposite direction, so you still move the screwdriver the same way to adjust.

[@wyeung168]

@Viktor_G_Automotive got it, thank you very much sir!!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@wyeung168 no problem!

Question.. Is the 2006 lexus rx 350 rear HB cable the same as the 2006 lexus 400h? Many thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, here in North America the RX350 did not come out until 2007, the 2006 was an RX330. The parts may or may not be the same, the best thing to do would be to check with your Lexus dealership parts department.
