I decided this would be a good time to replace that broken parking brake cable, since the interior is already torn apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the rear end up in the air and removed the wheel. Flaked off some more undercoating and gave it a quick shot of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t get the brake drum off and realized I was going to have to adjust the shoes in. My hands were getting wet with brake fluid as I was feeling around on the back side of the drum to remove the parking brake cable, .

Who even knew that was possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m all out of brake parts cleaner spray and don’t feel like heading back out to the store today, so I grabbed a new T shaped pin from the front brakes hardware kit I have waiting, wiped everything down, and put it all back together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting that brake shoe locked back in place should fix the parking brake problem. Turns out it wasn’t the cable after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
