I took the e-brake system apart and soaked the sheath and some PB-Blaster to get everything to loosen up. It ended up working and the e-brake was fully releasing.
Flash forward 6 months, and I went to put on new tires... and the my right rear e-brake is not fully releasing. I know the 1/2 and 3/4 tons have a different e-brake set up; so are there any vendors that carry replacements for a 1-ton, or is it just a matter of buying the other cables and making them work? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 | I'm wondering if the problem might be in where the cable attach to the brake shoe. Have you removed the rear drums to check the shoes and make sure they are not frozen up, especially where the cable attach to the concentric adjustment bolt on the rear shoe?
When I did my brakes I used plenty of anti size on all the pivot points.
Just a thought....
