Yeah, I'm getting the feeling that a disc swap will be coming soon. For now I swapped on Fred's parts until the $$$$ is available...whenever that might be. As soon as the brake line arrives I can get the Jeep back on the road (figured it was worth the $15 at the dealer for a new line, just so I didn't have to screw with bending and flaring a new one).
I'm still not 100% sure if I left the e-brake on, but based on the way the holes ripped in the backing plate the damage happened going forward. I guess it could have tweaked the plate enough to cause things to bind up going forward, but I'm starting to wonder if a spring popped loose and let one of the shoes bind.
Guess it doesn't matter, but it would be nice to know if it was caused by my stupidity or just a freak accident.
