Thank in advance.

Quick question before I button up my rear axle.
Browsed prior threads and FSM, but didn't see this specifically.
Upon pulling my PS rear brake disk, I found that my front parking brake shoe hold down spring was all FUBAR'd.

New to posting to the forum. Great site and has been lots of help. I have a issue with my 1992 Land Cruiser. Today as I was pulling into my driveway I had three dash lights come on at the same time. The A/T oil light, the "Brake" light and red light on the voltmeter. My digital gauge was...
Thank you in advance for the insight!
