Driving with parking brake engaged
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:14 pm
I slipped up the other day and didn't get the parking brake fully disengaged. (710M)
It must have built a little heat and started grabbing harder as it started to bog down and brought it to a stop a couple miles down the road.
I realized after a minute on the side of the road that the lever was still pulled out about an inch.
Played with it a bit and got it to properly disengage but now the brake still wants to grab periodically with the lever fully disengaged.
Never had any issues out of the parking brake prior to this incident.
Everything moves as it should (handle/cable/lever on the rear) but it still feels like it dragging at times.
I wanted to know if there could be something else going on before I tear into it and do a proper adjustment.
Any suggestions?
