This past weekend I replaced the parking brake assembly and pads, and to my astonishment the driver side assembly was missing with the brake line zip strip tied to the dust shield. So I got the strut bar and lever off a camry at the local yard and assembled everything to spec. After adjusting the starwheel and the nuts on the handle, the only side that engages is the passenger. So I figured maybe someone took the driver side out for a reason or because they didn't know how to adjust the lines at the equalizer. So my question is where is the equalizer on the Celica? I checked the under body and online databases but none were of help. If I can get the lines adjusted there then I should theoretically be good to adjust. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks guys

If I recall correctly, the e-brake cables must cross as they come together to prevent binding. Remove the drum, pull the lever, see if the driver's side cable retracts properly. If it does, you know the problem lies within the e-brake assembly. From there it's a relatively easy matter of identifying the balky part. If not...well, you mentioned you know of a junkyard with Celicas.
