Sorta the same but a bit off topic. This question makes me wonder a bit
about 4 wheel disc brakes. My Dakota has them. I seem to recall a
discussion a long time ago that Chevy still used drums on the rear of
the 'Vette because nobody had figured out how to make a disc brake
parking brake release. They could figure out how to apply them, just
not release.
So what changed from about 20 years ago??
