Hi,
92' Ford Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6.
My parking brakes barely engage when tested. I replaced the cables last year with a rear axle assembly swap . Notice how that cable fitting is not seated into the drum brake backing plate hole? Would that prevent the parking brakes from pressing onto the drums?
I'm going to drill out the diameter of those holes, so the fitting can be pressed in properly.
How does the emergency brake linkage in the attached photo work anyway? How does the one cable from the foot operated pedal, pull two other separate cables?
Is the linkage connected correctly? I think I should have a full understanding of this before I repair.
