05 4x4, I noticed the other day no emergancy brake.
A day or two later I could here a noticable squeel from the rear end, it was intermintent could here it slow or fast at times, also when I was standing beside the truck it sounded like rocks in the hub caps ( I have alloy rims ).
So I pulled off the rear wheels and calipers but could not get rotors off to check inside. On passenger side, emergancy brake cable still compressed, so I pushed it back and tried the brake again, stuck again, pushed it back, tried to get rotors off again, no luck, put calipers back on, no noise so far. Rear pads and rotors looked ok for 90,000 km but I will be changing them soon.
what is the best way to get rotors off the rear axle, I did remove the retaining clip and did some tapping , then carefully pounding on the rotor with a hammer, and penetrating oil to try to release it, no luck. I was pressed for time so i packed it in before I damaged anything or got too frustrated.
Sorry for long post, any help is appreciated.
