Is this the only place the cable is sticking?
I had an 84 4Runner and also had problems with the parking brake sticking. There's a pivot arm mounted above the rear axle that splits the cable tension to both wheels and it needs lubed to stay free.
: Apperently along time ago someone accidentaly
: sprayed asphalt undercoating on the rear
: passenger side parking brake arm located at
: the rear drum so when ever I pull the parking
: brake and release it that arm sticks on so
: the brake shoes are still sticking on the
: drums I tried spraying a deep penetrating
: lube but from time to time it still sticks.
: I tried to remove the arm pin bolt but it is
: seized I don't have a torch and am afraid
: that the lube and grease would catch fire so
: I would like to know what chemical I can use
: to clean the parking brake arm.
: Can I use brake cleaner,engine degreaser or
: what else to remove that grime?.Thanks.
