Loosening T100 4WD Parking Brake Bell Crank?

CainISAble · 07-21-2009, 08:24 PM

Doing rear brake overhaul on my newly aquired 94 T100. Got the drum off (Thanks for the help Death Coug.) the short cable between the smaller lower bellcrank and the upper bellcrank was rusted and broken. The upper one pivots fine with pressure on the cable but the lower smaller one is very stiff even with a good PB plasting. It looks like the lower one may be attached by one of the bolts going thru the backing plate?? I just want to know the best way to loosen it up so it will pivot and engage the brake propperly. Any suggestions?

Replace the parts, even if you can get all the rust off and free it up it won't last long. Been there, done that
