<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 340217, member: 54"]We’ve been chasing the weak parking brake issue, brake pedal assembly didn’t work even after lots of grease but I found new one online and got it here for $250. Wonderful, right? Several days after greasing it tried the old pedal again and it works perfectly. Grease took days to work in I guess. Got manual out to see how to adjust parking brake. Sounded pretty straightforward, manual had photos etc. But when we took up floorplate to see what was pictured, it looked a lot different. Manual didn’t mention they pictures taken from underneath the 13,000 lb vehicle that only has about 5” ground clearance. All the things u gotta remove and tweak can only be accessed from underneath. Hmmm, yes I can use jacks to raise front end then set wheels on blocks to let a person creep underneath. Now I know why previous owner didn’t fix that brake! Here’s our view at parking brake disc through the removed floor plate. (To be continued). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114364[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
