These trucks have rear abs only and the front brakes do most of the stopping so an ABS fault shouldn't have any real effect on the brakes. If you lost braking power you probably tore off a brake line, you're gonna have to get under there and have a look.

You can get the 4-prong spindle nut socket at any parts store.
You're going to have to describe the brake problem in a lot more detail before anyone here is going to be able to help you.

Should be about $10.
You are going to need to pull all the wheels off and look at the whole brake system. Make sure there is enough fluid in the reservoir. Check for leaks everywhere, including under the wheel cylinder dust caps. Look for broken hardware in the rear drums. Clean and adjust the rear brakes.
If you don't know how to do any of that then try to find a friend who knows brakes. If you can't, then get a chiltons or haynes manual.

If you are seriously in college courses, maybe take an English course so we can read your posts. Punctuation and grammar are huge. Buy a book and read it for your problems. I think you have a bit to learn. Oh and if your uncle wants to charge you to use his stuff, then he isn't a good family member and I would just spend the money on a basic tool set to use.

I see this point, but if he has a business, he needs to have SOME sort of money flowing....If it's during regular hours, maybe a discounted labor rate..
After hours....FREE!
Just my personal opinion...
