Parking Brakes

Right rear park brakes will not release. I can roll back but not forward, rolling back releases the park brake somewhat and I can drive but it still makes the brake become hot. I find that I would have to get under that right rear side and pull on the cable to release the park brake. What do you think the problem is? Ive not jacked the truck up and looked at the right rear brakes yet....I am using chocks and putting the rig in 1st or rev gear to park when parking rig....

Planned upgrades are a new and better turbo and larger exhaust pipes than the 21/2s that are already under the rig/ would like a 6 spd tranny but dont know if that is a feasable or smart investment yet.

cable is sticking or brakes need adjusted you neeed one of those spoon brake tools to adjust them if you try this it may help
hit about 35 in reverse and slam on the brakes works when mine does this but find an open parking lot for it

sometimes these just fall off the adjusterand start to stick ive found that helps reset them idk how or why it just does sometimes

last thing is pull off the drum and adjust from there
