Toyota Truck Park Brake Bellcrank Repair
What is a Park Brake Bellcrank?
A park brake bellcrank is a component of the parking brake system in Toyota trucks. It is a lever that is connected to the parking brake cable and to the brake shoes. When the parking brake is engaged, the bellcrank pulls on the brake cable, which in turn causes the brake shoes to press against the brake drums. This prevents the truck from moving.
