Rebuilding parking brake assembly on 2009 Ford F250
When I bought my F250 the parking brake did not hold. Since this is an automatic, it is no normally a problem. However, when trying to hook up a trailer the little bit of roll from placing the truck in park can be enough to let the hitch move out of alignment.
I assumed the brake just needed adjustment. When I could not find the adjuster, I decided to pull the drum off and see what was going on. What I found shocked me. There were no parking brake shoes, springs or anything! It looks like the backing plate rusted out and someone just removed all the parts rather than make the repair.
