As it goes with these trucks the handbrake was virtually non-existent. So, I disassembled both sides. I changed the pads, the bellcranks and their pins and I made sure that all the pins are lose and greased. So nothing is stuck there now and everything looks pretty good. I also adjusted the starwheels.
Then I drove the truck at like 30kmh and rapidly engaged the handbrake. Only the left side tire got fully seized and left burn marks on the concrete. Repeating that test yielded no different results.
Why might that be? The only thing I can think of is replacing the cables now. But I can't really see how the cables would do that.
