80 Series Land Cruiser/ LX450 Parking Brake Repair

Показать описание
Today we'll be freeing up some stuck parking brake levers and replacing the shoes and hardware on an 80 Series Land Cruiser. You don't need to remove the wheel hub like I have in the video. I was also doing wheel seals. But having the hub off did made it easier to video.

Want to help support the channel?

Looking for OTRAMM Merch?

In the Northern Virginia area and need vehicle repairs?

As a working shop it’s hard for us to stop and answer help questions. Happy to help when we can through the live chats in the members area though.

I thought I was going insane, but I just had the dogs rotated wrong so the long bit of the fork was at the front instead of the back. Thank you for saving my sanity!

Excellent video, Ryan. Thanks for posting the complete process. Just a quick tip: you can pre-assemble and install the pin, ring, spring and hat first. Then all you have to do is slide the brake shoe underneath it and turn the ring so it falls into place in the hole. Toyota was smart enough to make slots in the shoes (not just a hole). This is especially helpful if the axle is in place and you have no direct sight of the hat because it is hidden by the hub.

With the hub out of the way, I can clearly see how the parking brake parts sit together. Truly appreciate you explaining your process every step of the way. Gave me confidence in taking my lx470 parking brakes apart for maintenance.

So I'm addicted to these videos now...really great work! Did I miss the "Wheel Bearings Video" you mentioned at the beginning? I can only find two that address the 80 Series rear brakes area. Thank you for taking the time and documenting these operations!

thank you, very helpful with this video, I want to ask for the installation of the top spring, is there a difference, because the canvass only moves one side, not simultaneously. from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Help! At 19:20 the bent pin you put through the back and hold down with the ring, spring and hat is way loose. There is no tension holding down the drum. The other side has plenty of tension and seems right.

Thanks. I just did this. I should have watched this first. Bit it went ok.
These handbrakes are not that good tbh. Even with new shoes.

The cable is stretched.. had to put a spacer under the adjustment at the handbrake handle.

Followed this to the "T" with new rotors shoe's ungraded dog bones and upgraded increased ratio lever up grade / New cables both primary and secondary, This thing still wont hold on a hill rolling forward but holds a little (LITTLE) better from rolling backwards / what my best next check other then to carry blocks to put in front of the wheels (I now put it in gear to hold on a slope) Not ideal off road challenge
