How to adjust parking brake on TUNDRA

2007 Toyota Tundra 2WD how to correctly adjust parking brake

[@battleshipnewjerseysailor4738]

Peter, there is an access hole in the rotor that allows you to turn the star wheel with the rotor in place

[@Nick41622]

Still better than any electronic handbrake. This reminds me I have to adjust the hand brake on my 2006 Mazda BT 50, it has rear drum brakes.👍

[@mikewaite3692]

Yes, Peter... please do a video on first gen Tundra parking brake adjustment, it is confusing to me trying to adjust parking brake , since it is also part of the regular drum brake system which also needs regular adjustment, and, on top of that, its got the load sensing mech that adjusts braking power between front and back depending on the load in the bed... thanks ... i appreciate the effort you make to make to keep the viewers in mind with clear camera angles and explanations.

Nice work on that rig, Petr It looks spotless inside. I also like how you have the audible beep signal on the dial for your leg rather than the vibrator/buzz.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Petr, We can all see 1:11 you can easily apply the parking brake with your thumb. It must be noted you have incredible thumb strength developed through years of opening sauerkraut jars with your bare hands.😉🤣😂

Nice Tundra Peter! I gave it Thumb Up 👍🏻

[@abisaigil9286]

Keep up the great work, I love your videos.

[@sonofliberty92]

Another great video! I hope one day you can do live stream 🙂

Easy on the 2nd Gen. How about a video adjusting the rear brakes and parking brake on a 1st Gen?

[@efil4kizum]

gen1 Tundra?

[@aaronbrown6266]

@@efil4kizum Yeah. 2000-2006.

[@rationalsanelogical8910]

The parking brake is your adjuster for the rear brakes on a 1st gen.

[@teachingbeats]

​@rationalsanelogical8910 nope the real adjust is at the wheel cylinder after removing the rear drums

[@michaelt1349]

I gave it a thumb up!

[@charlesmielke9859]

Thanks Pete. Love all your videos!

[@paulodisano502]

Beautiful truck, Peter. Cheers my friend.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

[@dougsmith7195]

Is this the same for a 2017? My mechanic said the drums have to come off to adjust the parking brake.

[@ntujtshiabyajkiab2753]

Incorrect, the parking brake inside of the rotor can be adjusted without removing anything but the wheel. If someone before you installed the rotors wrong, you won’t be able to adjust it. There’s a 6 hole on the brake rotors where you should be able to adjust the brake shoes

[@smadas4192]

What is that pod device on the dash below the steering wheel

[@bblod4896]

That is for operating the brakes on a trailer.

[@smadas4192]

@@bblod4896 thx

[@juniorsarmiento7292]

When checking for slack, should e break be on or off?

[@garciasschevy]

Does this works on 2004 toyota sequoia also?

[@Shododaan]

Lucky you. I had a similar problem with my 2005 Nissan Titan and it wound up being the parking brake shoes falling apart like an overdried cupcake.

[@joshscott8678]

What year is this

[@billsimpson604]

The previous owner must have been one of the few people who actually used their parking brake. They had to do a lot of pushing to stretch those fat cables that much.

[@VoyagingVoyager]

The star should be adjusted with the rotor mounted. With the pads expanded properly, it is very unlikely you would be able to get the rotor on. Should adjust until there is a light drag.

[@allanmanley6340]

If that was my vehicle I would replace those shoes. 2mm is much too thin in my opinion...... I thought Toyota had an "auto brake adjuster".......

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

gotta take my tacoma in for service need brakes. and the general once over make sure no braking down. .

[@markreynolds3850]

👍👍☺️

[@dk7863]

Nice

[@bblod4896]

Your adjustable torque leg should be calibrated once per year 😂
