Back brakes - pleh. While the rear main brakes are rotors, the parking brake is a drum. I can hear you say "But Tugly, how can you have a drum and a rotor on the same axle?" Like this:











There is a lever that the parking brake cable attaches to, they commonly rust and sieze up. I had a stuck/burnt brake piston, a burnt rotor, two siezed park brake levers, two sets of siezed slide pins (one in front, one in rear), and more rust in the parking brake shoes than the whole Arizona. Everything was ejected and I had to start over. I don't mess around when it comes time to stop 8000 pounds and whatever it's towing.
