Figured out why my parking brake wasn't working..

Lol

 

That’s what happens when you don’t use it.

 

I was a big fan of the powder that floated out when I pulled the boot off. Some combination of mold, salt and rust.

 

The Dorman aftermarket replacements are an acceptable solution.

Like 90% of "drivers"

 

It's aluminum, but not sure cast would have been much better in our region/salted roads. I did this when installing the new Dorman set. Pumped it full of grease.


One of them actually broke in half when I tried to free it up. Had not moved for years

I see you have an 02, so this set is for 2000-2002.

 

Thats clever. I installed the Dorman set from O'Reilly's and greased tf out of it. That and new cables front and rear from RA, and I actually have a brake again! Not terribly difficult to do, couple a pita areas.
