THATS RIGHT, I WILL PAYPAL $5 WHOEVER GIVES CORRECT RECOMMENDATION AND SOLUTION!! this is a work vehicle and i need it figured out asap
ok first off, my 94 xlt felt like it was dragging in the rear end, car is not well maintained, and i use the parking brake everytime i park because shift cable wont go to park, and i live in michigan with salt roads...
i changed rear diff fluid, changed new shoes/drums(chunked out with bfh)/all hardware. i go to put on the drums, drivers side goes on smooth, passenger wont fit. bottom adjuster is all the way small.
this totally seems like the pass parking brake is locked, but it still moves when pulled and released, about 1/2-2/3 the motion of the driver side. i can kinda hammer the drum on, but it is a real ***** and doesnt seem right at all. both sides look the same, and we already tore down the pass and redid it. it kinda seems like the parking brake is semi-engaged, causing the left(rear facing) shoe to not sit right and not come all the way in at the top??? i think this is my diagnosis
what is the best/FASTEST/CHEAPEST way to fix this. i searched and it seems i should spray the line with PB blaster? inside the brake too? is the cable not completely covered? like that coil metal wrapping is all thats covering the inside cable from the elements? when the pass brake was disassembled, i tried to just pull the parking brake lever/actuator to get slack and it didnt budge.
can i adjust anywhere? it has to be the parking brake correct? i dont think its completely stuck if it moves a little right? theres gotta be some trick or something i dont know about. im to the point of just trying to cut it all out and rig up a line lock for parking, but i dunno if that will f*** up how the drums operate. PLEASE HELP!!!
located in kalamazoo, MI if anyone is local.
