Hey all, hope you guys can help me out, I'm no expert. I just got a 83 K10 as a project.
I took it to get a safety inspection and the parking brake failed because it doesn't hold the vehicle in place even when the transmission is placed in gear and accelerated.
The cable was very loose and missing a cable guide. replaced the missing cable guide, tightened everything up, still won't hold.
Opened up the rear drums and found a broken pad and spring and the driver's side. Replaced every brake part (shoes, springs, adjusters, cylinders, etc) except the drums on both sides. Parking Brake still doesn't hold.
Do I need to work on the adjusters more or will they eventually correct themselves after some use?
