Brake shoes may be worn out, hand brake cable is loose, are the tension adjusters stuck? Let's found out the cause for our weak parking brake force of the rear drum brakes! 🛠️

The easy fix is to solely tighten the adjustment nut in the fine-tune tensioner system, but I wanted to see what is the root cause for our problem.
"When a parking brake lever is pulled (or when a parking brake pedal is pushed), these cables transmit the necessary force to keep your vehicle in place or to stop the vehicle."

This was a physical and messy yet fun repair, I hope that you enjoy the recording!
Ps. My face in the end of the video is at least worth seeing 🤣🙈
