Worked fine on my 99 tacoma 4x4 v6. There's a very important trick to getting the shaft of the lever to go back far enough in order for the cable to pop out of place.In my first picture you can see what you have to remove. Not shown is a 10 mm nut that holds the ebrake sensor on. You'll see it when you're in there. Remove the pin with a plier or pick, push the big metal pin towards the passenger side. This will also make the little white wheel fall out. Remove the metal tab. Use a flat head to pry it out then use a plier to squeeze the open end together a little. The new cable is a little smaller in that area, so this will allow the tab to firmly hold it in place.Now for the trick, look at my second picture. It's a bottom side view of the emergency lever tube. Now, notice the two pins I circled? These hold on to the ratcheting mechanism you hear when pulling the ebrake. That mechanism stops the lever from going further into the tube. You will have to do this by feel, so put your hand on the top part of that mechanism by the pins. Pull the ebrake lever back SLOWLY and you'll feel two additional small metal thing sticking up. Notice how it pivots back and forth with each ratchet? Push the two metal things forward (towards the engine) and with the other hand, twist and push the ebrake lever down as if you're releasing it like normal operation.You should notice that this allows the shaft to go in further, allowing the cable end piece to drop.Push everything down and most everything else should be common sense from the underside of the truck.Additional tips: this new cable end piece going to the back of the truck is bigger than the original. You'll see what I mean, but it won't fit 100% so I just stuck a larger flat head in that holding piece and twisted it, widening the gap.This end piece also has what seems to be a simple pin holding it in place, almost exactly like the white wheel from up top. Mine was seized within the cable end piece. It would not come up. I had to put a 14mm short socket over it, then used a C clamp to push it from the bottom up. Again, you'll have to see it for it to make sense. Took me 2 hours. Could be shorter with no rust and I had to figure out the ratcheting mechanism on my own.Good luck!

This cable did work for my 1996 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 regular cab. I will say this though, I had bough the same one before and had snapped it. My truck being manual does require the parking brake. I must have replaced the original cable about 3 times in the couple years I've owned it. Replacing it isn't the easiest task, but it can be done if you watch a few YouTube videos. This cable works, I'm just gentle with it as I've had it snap before.

I bought this cable and installed this in the fall. It snapped before winter was over.I barely used it and it snapped in less than 9 months.Maybe it was defective, maybe it was an anomaly.Send me a new one and ill remove the review, and give it a second attempt. If it fails again then we know its a bad product

Exact match for my vehicle which was nice not to have to fudge anything on installation. Instructions in connecting it to the emergency brake handle could have been better. I figured it out and it works well

Installed on a 1999 Toyota Tacoma with ease. The only recommendation is to use a jigsaw on the shaft approximately 2 inches above the location on the interior attachment. I made a 2 1/4 inch cuts approximately 1/2 inch apart to remove old adapter/install new one.

I installed this in April 2023 and the cable frayed and broke in March of 2024. I will try a different brand.
