My parking brake was not working ... finally got around to pulling it to check ...

I have fixed it already ... but... can you see the two reasons why it didn't work ?

:)

Yep pad came off and the pivot horseshoe clip went missing :meh:


If you notice the other pad has this goo between pad and the metal?

Several years ago my parking brake stopped working ... opened it up and found the pad came off... did a quick black rtv on it and worked great

Bought a decent Japanese set and waited for it to stop working again... I was a bit surprised to find that pad was actually still holding and the other pad separated

And the added surprise of the missing horseshoe clip... how that came about ... who knows lol

Speedie sleeves are cool. I wish they had them back when I rebuilt mine. I took my time machine shop and they built up the worn shaft with brass. Has it leaked sense.
