I noted the other day that my vanagon, parked on a very
steep hill, move about 20 feet.  Jumped in to find the park
brake  is still on, but loose.   WHat gives?  Someone
in here?  No chance.   Feels like the park brake
is coming up real high.  Quick glance at the park
brake cables  reveals all is intact.  Pulled rear
brake drums.  All in good shape.  Back to the
park brake lever, and inspecting the pivot point
all looks good?  Now I'm stumped.......
Back underneath to do a inch by inch
inspection of the cables to fine the left rear is
rusted so bad that the outer sleeve  has collapsed,
from rust, shortening  as you  put on the brake.

What bugs me is it sat on that hill for a hole week
before it moved.
