Parking braking help !
As I’m going through the rear axle brakes on my car, I’ve discovered a number of problems, including an emergency brake lever that is frozen in its bushing, and I mean really frozen. Ive had Kroil on it for 4- 5 days now, but have not been able to break it loose to remove it and replace the bushing. And, to make matters worse, the bushing rotates in the carrier with the lever, so I guess that;s how the brake was working, because it did work.
I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has run into this same issue ! Thanks in advance - Jim |

Re: Parking braking help !
You're talking about the toggle lever, correct? Can you not pull or press the lever out with the bushings all at once? Or can you not get the lever off where the brake rod attaches? If it's all seized together there may be no alternative to cutting it apart.
