2000 Blazer Parking Brake Question

I have a 2000 Blazer 4WD, disc brakes front and back. I have been having issues with my rear passenger side. A couple of times when i have gotten home from work I have smelt something warm in the wheel well. I have taken the wheel off and checked the pads and they still had plenty of pad left. I happened again today, so i decided to replace the pads and rotor to see if that would take care of it. When I pulled off the rotor after having a lot of trouble getting it off I noticed that the parking brake could just flop around. I looks like there is a bracket that should hold it in place. Could it be possible that i pulled it off when the rotor came off or that it was already off and it was moving around cusing binding.

Looks like you need to do some work back there. Backing plates, park brake shoes, and a complete hardware kit. Autozone has all of it. The axles need to be removed to replace the backing plates, the rest of it is straight forward.

The caliper pistons have a habit of binding in the caliper bore and the caliper hardware binds in the caliper mounting brackets. Loaded, complete rear calipers come with all of it, including the brackets.

After replacing rear rotors and pads I still had the heat build up even worse with new pads and rotors. Replaced the caliper too and seems like that was the problem.

Cool! Glad you got her fixed, thanks for posting back.
