I pulled the left wheel off for the first time today. I wanted to see why my parking brake wasn't working. I figured it was the cables being seized. Come to find out, the cable wasn't connected to anything. There's nothing for the end of the cable to connect to.
The previous owner had put new brake cylinders and shoes on, but it looks like whatever the cable is supposed to connect to is missing. I'll post photos soon to show what I have.
The second issue is that it looks like the axle seal is leaking. Everything was soaked with oil. Is pulling an axle something I can do myself, considering I don't have have a lift or even a garage for that matter?
Thanks for your comments. By the way, I haven't looked at the right side yet to see what awaits me there. Hopefully tomorrow.
