Parking brake not engaging.
I searched and searched before making this thread but none of the solutions from other threads have helped.
Like the title says my parking brake won't engage. It was working fine a few months ago then all of a sudden it stopped engaging. I don't have any broken cables as I pull the parking brake handle all the cables tighten up.
It's like the brake pads aren't being pushed out far enough. I tightened bell crank nut up by the T-case and that didn't tight anything up either.
I also noticed the adjustment lever falling off of the adjuster when I pull the parking brake handle to far. So I'm not sure if that has to do with anything. Also the lever hardly sits on the adjuster wheel.

My lack of mechanical knowledge has stumped me.
Does anyone have any ideas?
