My logic tells me; If you were to park on a hill, the parking brake should stay on, even when the air pressure leaks away to nothing! There is no mechanical lock on the parking brake. A spring apples the parking brake and the air overcomes the spring when the parking brake is released. My 76 TK has the same parking brake set up and the rods push from the central mechanism and into the cylinder on the drums when the air pressure is applied.
My old manual does not cover this modern system so I would love to know how this works, as I’m trying to remove the drums but it’s all rust and no give.
