PARTS LIST: (for THIS 1997 LX450)
(It is very possible that YOUR truck has similar, but yet DIFFERENT pieces to do the same job, hence why I suggested to PM cruiserdan about YOUR SPECIFIC parts requirements.)
1- 47628-60010 Bracket
1- 47629-60010 Bracket
2- 90249-08075 Pin

All pieces, like many things with Toyota, are individual. There is not a 'kit' for this project.
I will put together 'my' recommended parts list shortly.....
Also-
The parking brake shoes were not replaced when doing this, so they are not included in the price that Ryan posted...
PM cruiserdan... <--- this is a link
Be sure to tell him that you want the cable link between the cam arm and parking brake shoe arm, along with the pin and retainer for it, both sides.
:beer:
Going to do oil sampling while it was here...
Front diff oil does not appear to be as 'fresh' as the transfer case and rear diff Ryan...I would have a talk with your lube boys next time you see them...
After everything is back together, you now can adjust the parking brake shoes. The adjuster is on the lower section of the parking brake assembly. This also gets a little anti-sieze on it when things are apart.
There is a little rubber plug in the rotor that needs to be removed in order to...
After attaching the cable link to the parking brake shoe arm, it is just a matter of putting the shoe retainers and springs back together....installing your new parking brake cam arm return springs and attaching your cable to the arm.
You then can put the brake pad retaining bracket back on...
Next,
You noticed that I had to cut the cam arm to get the assembly out of the backing plate...well the cable link to the shoes was not going to come apart...and needed to be replaced.
If you live in the rust belt, be sure to order this cable, pin and retainer for both sides, as they will...
So with the old junk out of the way, we can focus on installing the new pieces....
The cam pivot block is made from aluminum and the cam pivot pin and cam arm are made from steel. We all know how well those two play together in the rust belt...:rolleyes: The sealing boot needs to be installed...
So with the rotor removed, you can see the parking brake shoes... these shoes still had life in them, so the project was replacing the levers and mounting blocks, as they were rusted up solid and would not move.
Here are pictures of the rusty cam arm and non-reuseable link that needed to be...
Next, the rotor needs to be seperated from the wheel bearing hub. This can be done by using the two 8mmx1.25x30 bolts threaded into the holes in the rotor assembly and forcing the rotor off the hub. Sometimes the rotor can be a pain, but most times it will pop free with little effort, and then...
Had a '97 LX450 at the shop, very clean truck, 83K on the clock...
Parking brake was not working properly...
Anyone that lives in the rust belt knows that the paking brake on a Toyota needs to be used frequently to stay functional...or it will rust up.
The only thread that I found out...
