does anybody make a better parkbrake than the stock ford one for my 2002 f350 rear disc with the little drum park brake

 

im not sure but Im replacing mine on my 2008 f250

I bought an OEM from the dealer but Im having trouble pulling the axle.

Do you have experience with this?

 

Did you take the 5 bolts on the end of the axle out.If you did that the axle should com wright out.If not tell me what you did so far.Matbe I can help you.

 

I am not sure if you can find any aftermarket parking brake, but did you try to adjust what you have?
I had mine pretty weak at 260k miles, but than I adjusted the slack and now it will hold 20k lb set on pretty steep hills.

 

Its the left side axle (the one closest to the ring gear).

Ive removed the 2 bolts holding the bracket over the left bearing.

Am I to remove the bolts on the housing for the planetary gears?

 

Remove the center cap from the rear wheel there be a hub that sticks out.There will be 5 maybe more bolts around it remove those bolts that is the axle it will pull straight out.

 

I looked again. I need to remove the hub that has the bolts for the wheel lug nuts.

I need to remove this in order to replace the emergency brake.

If removing the 8 bolts from the center cap will allow me to remove the entire hub/axle then Im in good shape.

 

EXACTLY!If you remove the 8 bolts it will slide out.

 

I removed the 8 bolts and the axle slid out.

I still need to remove the hub (with the wheel lugs) so I can put the E-brake assembly on.

Once the axle was out I noticed what looks to be corrugated ring nut but it doesnt want to loosen.

Any thoughts?

 

There are notches in the nut it takes a special socket to remove them.

 

i thought this was about my park brake you need to start your own question
