That's always a tough one. It's such a helpless feeling when you can't find shelter quick enough.

Been a LONG time since I've posted, but Thunder is doing great. Just need to replace my parking brake on both rear wheels in order to pass inspection for my TX registration renewal. Hoping it's easy enough to do it myself...

Not a bad job to tackle yourself... Remove the wheels, brake caliper, and rotor to access the PB shoes. I'd recommend getting new hardware and adjusters also. Lightly grease the backing plate where the shoe makes contact, then reassemble. Make sure the adjusting nut is not seized up (You may have to replace this) because once you get it all back together, you'll have to adjust the shoes so your e-brake has pedal.
