      ... so you just replace everything

      The rear parking brakes decided to lock up. Luckily, it was while pulling it out of the garage after detailing. Unluckily, I borked the process of removing the rotors to inspect. They were squeaking a bit anyway - I think the shop that did the inspection over tightened them and they've been dragging. I broke the internals attempting to take them off before I realized that I needed to completely loosen the shoes because there's a lip on the inside of the drum, so I needed to drill some new holes to get to the adjuster.

      The red mist is a hell of a drug. Only I could make a project out of one of the most reliable trucks ever built.

      New everything with proper lube and antisieze, along with some new rubber plugs and some repairs to the rubber boot around the cam linkage. I'll give the cable a good looking over too and maybe I'll lube that too.

      Pretty colors

      That should fix it.

        The combination of reliability and too many unused tools on full display. I think you enjoyed breaking it.

          @nomdeplume to be fair ... I have other vehicles of increasingly lower levels of reliability that I could be spending my time on ... but also you're not wrong.
