				Parking brake
			 
 
			Just finished, other than final adjustment, replacing shoes and springs on my parking brake. Many thanks to Canada Kev for his tutorial and to Bentley for providing even more direction. Thankfully, not a job I will ever need to tackle again. Not particularly difficult, more of a PITA and somewhat fiddly. Biggest issue was keeping the shoe "ears" in the expanders while assembling everything. Finally conceded that these would need post assembly positioning and things went smoothly.Somehow I perfected my process and the passenger side was done in 1/3 the time of the driver's side. Amazing how we learn from our mistakes.
 Now just adjust and wait for some good weather so I can start driving the thing.
