Was going to go down to the farm and plant a food plot this AM and had a big surprise when I tried to back up my truck. 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 5 speed 48,000 miles (mostly hwy -ain't even broke in yet). Last time I drove it was on 8/28/12 to set up a trail cam and when I tried to back it up today the right rear brake is stuck tighter than....( fill in phrase here).
Parking brake seems to be working OK. When I tried to move it when started it really put a strain on the clutch / trans so I stopped. It won't go forward or in reverse.
When I rock it manually by hand, engine off, the right rear brake drum makes a clicking noise as it rocks forward. In fact when pushing it by hand the right rear tire skids a tad bit as I build up the momentum.
Since I have AAA I am thinking about just getting it towed over to Cams in Acworth or another garage. Don't know what to do right now. I am dead in the water.
I don't know anything about removiing the drum / working on brakes or whatever. I did jack it up and take off the wheel. Looks OK, no grease or leaks. Any suggestions?
