I'm giving it another try. Looking for any help, thoughts, insights into fixing my parking brake.
Background: I have adjusted the rear brake cylinders so there is just a hint of drag. I have installed a new pb cable. The concentric bolt holding the pb lever is properly adjusted. Slotted rod attached to the front shoe is in place.
Problem: when the brake cable is fully engaged (ie the pb lever is almost touching the backing plate near the axle and can not move forward any further) the slotted rod which is connected to the pb lever does not engage the leading brake shoe. The lever does not travel the full length of the slot in the rod.
Observations: slotted rod needs to be longer or slot needs to be shorter or missing a piece or ?????
Help. As always thanks in advance.
