Are there any adjustments that need to be made if you put on a new caliper I noticed these celicas use a duo servo mechanical drum parking brake design, where the cable goes into from behind the rotor vice externally. is the only rear parking brake adjustment in the center glove only? I keep reading you adjust something in the rotor first and then move on to the adjustment in the center glove. is that an adjustment in the rotor where that rubber plug is? I noticed when I looked into the rubber plug, its not very clear what to adjust there, the toyota service manual is not very detailed. it says to adjust something so that pads basically lock the rotor, the description sounds like drum brakes but it was listed under disc brakes and drum brake shoes had its only paragraph. Just wondering if anyone knew. I'm used to the hondas rear brake set up.
This what the manual says: Disc Brakes Raise and support rear of vehicle. Remove rear wheel. Release parking brake. Remove adjustment hole plug from rear rotor. Turn adjuster until parking brake shoes lock rotor. Back off adjuster 8 notches. This post has been edited by trdproven: Jul 7, 2012 - 2:56 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

yay im glad you showed up. well i just came back from local auto shop and they said i cannot machine them down anymore. I put regular caliper grease on the backing plate, thinking that it would be sufficient. I already knew it wouldn't work very long so I have to take everything apart and put anti-seize grease on the backing plate so that everything is moving freely. This will now be the 3rd time that I take everything apart (ha im getting quicker at this)
the shop also said wait for 500 miles till everything brakes in. its been 200 miles so far since the install. how do i check if cable isn't seized?? just have someone pull on it from the inside and watch the shoes expand??
