rear brake adjusment spring

Post by geoff.nell »

Hi guys (and gals if there are any)
I am a new member, have had a Hilux since 1995, bright red single cab Raider with 140 000km, and this is the first time the rear brakes need to be done. :!: Thr front pads were replaced at 130 000km.
I took them apart, got the new shoes, and now I cannot see how to put the adjuster spring back together.
There is a cable that runs from the top, around a guide, and then has a kind of bracket at the end, then there is a little spring that comes from the adjuster lever. Where does the end of this spring attach onto?
I have the Gregory manual which gives basic pictures, but not the detail that I need.
Please help

Have you tried looking at the brakes excerpt from the 22RE workshop manual I posted under the Workshop manual section? See if that will help you.

Hey Bennie, thanks a bunch. I followed the link to the online manuals and found that the dual servo brakes on the 2wd are the same as mine, with very clear pics of how it fits together. All back together now, I can stop again!! Thanks for the help.
