Hi folks: I've searched the forum for parking brake on this model but don't find much. What I"m looking for is where does the park brake cable go? Both rears? Right (pass) side only? Left? My buddy has one that appears to be stuck and we're going to attack it but need to know which wheel to go after. Thanks for the help.

Yea, just peeking underneath I see a cable that appears to head to both sides. I"m thinking of doing some banging on the hubs to see if'n it'll unstick. I"m assuming they are "drum" type of system for the parking brake?

How about the process of removing the hub? Is there a simple setscrew or maybe the lugs simply hold them in place? I need to drag some tools over and am wondering what to bring. Thanks for your help.

btw this is a wagon. I'm assuming IRS.
