Releasing the park brake is as simple as climbing under the truck with a medium sized hammer and beating the lever arm on the back of the backing plate back into it's home position. You'll see when your under there. There is even a place to hit it built in.Sadly, I have no sense of smell ... like zero. I just know I could feel the heat coming off of it. It makes a whining sound when I turn left and changes pitch a bit with speed. I believe it all started after I pulled the parking brake one day. I also noticed that when it went through the car wash yesterday that the drivers side rear wheel would occasionally not rotate, but just push along the track for the wash.
Andy - If you want to cut the frame shoot me a text and let me know what you think it's worth.

^^^ Is this what we are using for coms now instead of a CB? Do I need the HAM License for this? Just trying to get on-board with coms and buy the right thing.
