Hi
93 ranger splash 2 wd, 2.3 , 5spd
I just had my rear brake line replaced from the prop. valve back because of a leak in the line. The problem is now my drivers side rear brake is dragging to the point where after 5 or so miles of driving the drum smokes and is really hot, other side is fine. I dont use the ebrake and havnt in a long time, but when the line was replaced, they used the ebrake, this started happening on the way home. I adjusted the brake shoes down as far as I could and that helped alot, but today I had the exhaust replaced and they put the ebrake on and while driving home it heated up again ( yes the e brake was released before driving, lol) I need suggestions on what could be causing this? Could the ebrake line be sticking on that side? Is it possible to disconnect that side and still drive it? Also, does anyone know how to tell what size the brakes are ( 9 or 10 ") ?
Thanks for any help or advice,
Mike
