Thank you all in advance. I replaced the parking brake shoes about 20k Miles ago. They have been great since. I tow a boat and when backing into the water, these brakes are essential as the I can't have the entire weight of the tow package and trailer on the transmission. That horrible clunking sound always makes me cringe. In any case, here is what is happening.
Suddenly when depressing the pedal, it is soft now and when backing in the boat, it is slowly slipping. So I thought that was odd. Went below and notice the cable hadn't slipped but I tightened it even further. Went to back in again last week and it held for a moment, then I heard this metallic clink sound and it started once again to slip. I just tested both sides and they are both holding somewhat. I tested both sides hoping I would find the one side and only dig into that side only, but both hold somewhat.
Any helpful advise would be great. Thank you.
