Trying to get this sorted before the next trip to CO. Not having an ebrake made me feel real uncomfortable last time. History, I rebuilt the rear brakes last year, new calipers, pads, and new shoes for the drums on the ebrake. Also, all new springs and star wheel inside. I have never been able to adjust it to hold though. I got under there today and watched while my wife pulled the cable. The in cab adjuster was loosened until there was just barely tension on the cable.
While pulling the cable the DS bell crank will swing out away from the wheel like its supposed too. The PS bell crank does nothing. The cable that runs to it does not move or pull it away from the wheel like its supposed to. The pivoting mechanism where both cables run through also does not move. What am I doing wrong here ?
This ^ piece doesn't move. I don't understand how it is supposed to pull the PS cable.
Here is the offending bell crank ^. It will move back and forth with the persuasion of a hammer. The adjuster for the stop is also seized and probably needs replaced. I cannot find a good schematic anywhere to get part numbers from. Any help is appreciated.
