99 Explorer Parking Brake Equalizer
Okay dumb question:
**Full disclosure, I am putting an explorer axle under a 47 ford truck. So I am not familiar with much on an explorer**
How does the equalizer work? I thought that it allowed for equal amount of pull from each brake cable when the brake is pulled.
But when I pull the front brake cable, it only pulls the driver's side brake. The passenger cable is attached to the equalizer, but doesn't move. Further, I do not understand how the passenger side brake would engage, since the equalizer is not attached to the actual cable, but to the outer housing of the cable.
Any help is appreciated.
