I think what stickdog is saying is... Losing one brake out of four is not really going to make a whole lot of difference just to get you out of the situation you are in..
Sure, fix it when you can, but if you can make a 'fix' to get you back on the road again where you can fix the issue correctly, is just what you gotta do..
I found that my old Prowler TT only had 3 functioning brakes after it's first year of use.. Found a broken wire inside the backing plate assembly that got pinched on assembly, but I never knew the difference.
I spliced the wire and still didn't even notice a difference..
Anyway, I have never posted that before either (at least I don't think I did in however long I've been posting here... :) )
Post only what you want to get criticized on and judged on for your actions! That's the way of the social media now a days, so just go with it..
I would have no problem disabling that axles brakes to get me home and fix it properly.. But, that's just me..
Good luck! Mitch
