    We have an 87 Ford F-8000 dump with a locked up RR wheel. The crew had been having trouble all winter but when they backed up it would release. When it locked up completely and wouldn't move either direction then they told me. This truck has separate parking brake actuator system which I'm not sure how it works as I've never had anything this heavy apart. Going to pull drum on free wheel first to see if I can determine how it works. Any advise or experience anyone else has would be greatly appreciated.

    Take it to a professional if you don't know what you are doing. If someone gets in an accident because you didn't fix it currently what is your club going to say?
