Hello everyone. I own a 1986 toyota 4x4 and I have been fixing it up little by little when ever I have the time. I need to fix the ebrake. when I got it the old man said it didnt work. And with it being manual trans I need to get it fixed bad. The thing is I know very little at all about the ebrake system and how it works. I have worked on yotas off and on my whole life learning different things as I go but I have never been involved in fixing a ebrake. Can someone please tell me how the ebrake system works and what is most common to look for when repairing and etc etc. I feel dumb asking this but I just dont know and figured someone on here would for sure!

The handle pulls a cable that pulls a lever under the truck about the middle of the truck. The lever then pulls another cable that pulls on a lever over the axel that has another cable attached to it the pulls on another lever at each rear wheel that has another lever that pulls on a cable that pulls on another lever that pushes the brake shoes apart in the rear drums.

Get it....hehe Get all the levers and cables moving and you will have e-brakes.

Start by pulling the rear wheels and drums off then start checking that everything is moving from the wheels all the way to the brake handle. You will see how it works once you pull the drums off. Simple but lots of moving parts.
