Noticed that a couple weeks ago. By "FUN STUFF" I was referring to things that go boom.

Put the new blower motor in and found tons of slop side to side in the old one, I knew this without looking or feeling it was like that. The thing blows now! I didn't realize how little air flow I had coming out till now. On a plus side there was very little debris in the box so a simple reach in and pull out 2 of them long Pine needles and it was done.
I had kid run out on lunch and video the play in the old one for you guys:
I don't believe I have seen an electric motor that has bushings with this much play side to side and it not freeze up when powered on. It was a factory unit so many of years this thing was in use. It was a bit noisy in winter when I got the truck 3 years ago and I eked out as much life as I dared to.
The rattle of the new one was end to end play not side to side which all electric motors have.

I finally got the parking brake pedal unstuck on my '90, turns out the only bolt left was the one facing back by the release lever... Got it to release, I think the tabs on the release bent out a little so I bent them further in and put some white lithium on all the moving parts, the cable is free...
I tightened the cable adjusters some more but I can still push the thing by hand on flat ground, gotta play with the adjusters in the drums, that's a job for another day. I took it for a rip around the back of the property just for fun, it still runs after being parked for months
