I don't drive it much, as you can probably tell, but the last time I parked it, I set the parking brake.Last week before an oil change, I took it up the road to get everything warmed up and noticed it downshifted in a spot where it normally doesn't, which I thought was odd. When I got back home, I checked the wheels with the back of my hand and noticed one of the rear wheels was very warm.Based on that, I'm thinking the issue may be with the drum-in-hat parking brake setup or possibly the cable that actuates it. What are your thoughts?A couple of questions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What is the best way to get the parking brake to fully release?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can the parking brake cable be lubricated, and if so, what's the best way to do that?</li> </ul>Thanks in advance for any advice.</blockquote>
