derail in 3, 2, 1....
so my rangers brake pedal started feeling 'off' about a month ago. tore down the rear drums, and figured out that the parking brake was seized half-applied, one piston was seized on one side, the other side was leaking. replaced the pistons, took pictures before tearing it down to make sure i could get it back together.
i get everything back together 100% of how the pictures i had were, but then the brake adjuster cables had 1/2" of slack, where it had all been tight.
it took 4 hours and calling my mechanic brother out to look at it to finally figure out that the half-moon cable guide piece the adjuster cable ran over had a notch that was 1/32" out of place, causing the slack.
drum brakes are evil.
