I'm interested. Sent you a text message from an 802 area code number.

New drums, hardware, drum pads. 2 days later...

I'm looking to do the same on my 4runner soon. It would be awesome to compile a parts list w/ links for a drum brake rebuild and bell crank replacement. I'll start: Brake Shoe Kit - Amazon.com: Genuine Toyota 04495-35230 Brake Shoe Kit: Automotive

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I fixed the issue earlier as I was able to drive to town, but when I got back in my car the problem was there again. Going to try and sort the problem out tomorrow, so I'll definitely look into this when I'm wrenching on her.

Got it unlocked finally. Got some warm water and mixed it with some isopropyl alcohol and sprayed the hell out of the drum and axle and it unlocked. I think either the drum or e-brake was jammed full of snow and ice and didn't want to budge yesterday. Thanks for help guys.

I have studded snow tires on and have never had this issue in 7 years of Tahoe winters. This isn't the case unfortunately.

Derp. Thanks.

What's my best route of action(s) to temporarily fix this?

No water crossings and no e brake. I'll give her the ol' rubber mallet tomorrow if nothing else works.

The tire still spins on the side that has the leaking seal though. The leaking seal is back driver side. The rear passenger side is the axle/tire that won't turn.

Hey there. Having a new issue that started about an hour ago moving my car out of my driveway. I engaged 4wd to get out of the snow in my driveway. My rear passenger side tire/axle has decided that it doesn't want to turn at all any more. My rear driver side will turn and so will my two front...

How do you like that particular model? Considering buying one, just haven't decided on the right one yet.

I've had this happen three separate times on my 4runner. I've had to have it helicoiled twice. I've taken the easy route on fixing the issue, but I'm fairly certain the larger issue is a cracked head(s) that leaks coolant and hydrolocks, causing the spark plugs to blow out of the threads also...

They're sold now.

That's what happened to my 98 3.4 when the fuel injector went. Could very well be the issue.
