Re: Bent Rear Parking Brake Shoe
Wow! Going to have to see detailed pics of that one! Sounds like a new issue to me.

working on pictures..
Exactly my problem. After looking over the otherside more closely, and testing the parking brake. I realized I'm missing the bottom half which moves the front shoe..jeepin al said:looking more at the pictures, you may be missing the lower plate on the connecting pieces. This piece moves the front shoe. I maybe placing the shoes on the right side tonite, depends on what today brings at work. If I do I will take a couple of pictures of the connecting pieces.
Dude, I am glad someone else has bad luck besides me. Sometimes every thing I touch turns into a nightmare. Good luck with the rest of the repair.buterbn said:Furthermore, I ran into another problem.. ARGH..
If it took no pressure to destroy the threads, it sounds like the caliper is junk. Why not return? It would be a lot safer to get a new one instead of using a helicoil or retapping.buterbn said:I just picked up a new caliper at CarQuest, but while installing my top caliper bolt the threads broke down.. Now the bolt just spins and does not hold...
No it was actually the thread hole on the Steering Knuckle that got destroyed... Although it could have been the bolt replacements they gave me that did it.. Sounds like I need to get one of these steering knuckle saver kits..gregert12 said:If it took no pressure to destroy the threads, it sounds like the caliper is junk. Why not return?
