Description of the problem	Emergency brake failure, the emergency brake on my 2001 toyota tacoma has seized for a second time. With the emergency brake seized it is not possible to operate the emergency brake. The design of the emergency braking system allows the system to seize due to corrosion at the location where the actuating lever meets the mounting block. I have previously had this repaired by the toyota dealer at a cost of $350 (2 mounting blocks@ $90. 00 each and 1 hour labor per side to remove and replace mounting blocks and actuating lever(s). The protective rubber boot which should protect the joint between the lever and mounting block is located approx 1/8" from the joint, which provides no meaningful protection from water and salt i. E. Corrosion. Once a small amount of corrosion occurs the joint seizes and renders the emergency brake unusable.
