Went playing in some very light mud and water, and now my park brake doesn't work again! lol

Hopefully it's just wet brakes instead of a leaking axle seal again...

I hope so! Driving a stick without a park brake is nerve racking. You park on a hill and don't have anything to safelykeep it from rolling.

Leave it in gear, and point the wheels at the curb, and if it's a really steep hill, park in 4-LO, lol


It's not the first time I've hand no park brake...

I know about park brakes and salt water puddles. It's a real pain with rear drum brakes and 3/4 ton axles.
Notice the barnacles on the rocks!

I can imagine how those might be a PITA! lol.

Watch for barnacles! They can be pretty sharp!


I've gotta crawl underneath and see if there's anything I can do to help protect things...
