Alright, I've got an 87 Bronco II. today, I went to pick something up from a friend really quick, so I park on the side-ish of the road, put it in neutral, set the brake, and dash into his house. I come back out, and I can't drive away.
So, we jack it up, and find that the driver side brake is stuck. So, we pound the drum off with a hammer, and back the self adjuster off a bit, and it was able to spin around again. Now, normally, I would have taken the time to thoroughly look around, but I was kind of out in the road, and I wanted to get out of the way.
I did poke around a little bit though. I found that the cable that runs back along the frame is way loose. So, I tried to jiggle the cable around where it entered the drum, and nothing happened. the other thing I noticed was that when I pulled on the adjusting lever, it didn't actually spin the star wheel
Any suggestions of what I should be looking for when I get a chance to look at it again after work tomorrow?
Also, there is not water freezing it in place. It was 80 degrees out today.
