I think they broke the cylinder also for reference the front left brake was like this
I’m looking at it and I need cylinder parts they deleted the cylinder parts
Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. Lots of cheapskates out there who don't mind the parking pawl keeping the truck from moving.
them front pads wore uneven cause one piston is not backing off. caliper is likely going bad. or it could be the rubber brake line to the caliper, they do go bad and dont let the fluid back out.
I’m gonna try the $25 kit for the back brakes
I found the stuff I need I think I’m ignoring the aftermarket hex for now because it’s $8 to replace,and I have the proper tool to remove it im gonna need a $25 cylinder hardware kit but then I can have 4 working corners
Caliper is fine it was just sticking because it was maxxed out I tested them and they moved freely once I shifted it more closed with new pads at worst I’ll get a new caliper later bigger priority is fixing the rear end so if anything happens i atleast have a emergency brake.
I believe everything but the cylinder hardware is complete they basically took off the old shoes and piston adjusters and pins. $25 ish and it should work unless something is broken in the piston.
The owners manual says to use the parking brake in case of brake failure I mean I would use it anyway even if the manual didn’t say so because it’s a whole separate braking system also DOT requires a functioning parking brake this section is for single engine vehicles under 10k pounds with hydraulic brakes (my Yukon xL) If your car slides down a hill it will be investigated and you will be liable if your parking brake doesn’t work. :
I have said the same thing here, many many many times.
Well if youve ever had a hydro boost return line blow off,its an emergency brake!
Of course you'd use it as an emergency brake if needed, it would be stupid not to. I kinda feel like I've been "served."
After using it and cleaning out your shorts, be sure to carefully inspect the parking brake components since they don't last long under emergency applications.
the trick is to apply it everytime you drive, that way if its needed its already workingOf course you'd use it as an emergency brake if needed, it would be stupid not to. I kinda feel like I've been "served."
