In this video, we're going to show you tailgate cable replacement on this 2002 Toyota Tacoma, a pretty easy process. All you need is a screwdriver bit that goes into a ratchet. Usually you need a little extra leverage to get those loose.
For your tailgate cables, you're going to want a Phillips bit like this that you can put on a ratchet. It gives you some extra leverage. Push it in. Make sure your other side is supported, so you don't end up denting your tailgate. You'll want to remove this plastic washer, by grabbing a hold of it and unscrewing it. Now your cable can just come up and off.
The new cable from 1A Auto, very simply you just put on and turn it. Make sure you have the plastic. Feed that through. Put your washer on, and then put this down on. Make sure the first few times, when you close your tailgate you force that cable down. Make sure it bends down the correct way.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
