“I have a 2000 Gmc Sierra pickup with disc brakes on all four wheels. The parking brake is a horseshoe shaped brake shoe that is to grab a brake drum designed into the rear wheel rotor. I have used the parking brake about five times( exaggerated) in the life of my truck. When the brake failed to hold I thought nothing of it, as I rarely used it. Recently on an unrelated repair I had occasion to remove and inspect my rear rotors. The brake shoe for the parking brake repositioned itself and has been rubbing on the brake drum portion of the rotor causing it to wear the lining of the drum . …”

An inspection of the failed assembly shows that it is held up by a single thin steel cable, which was broken, allowing the assembly to release the spare tire and wheel. Dt”
