What do you do if you have a broken arm and can't type?
Dont type. In fact, how did you even type this if you cant type?
It depends which cable is broken. If the main cable is broken under the truck, the brakes should release on their own. If the brakes dont release, the cables are frozen from rust and need to be replaced. If the release cable from the handle to pedal assemdly is broken reach under the dash above the pedal and find the small release arm. Pull the arm toward you [ the rear of vehicle ] and the emergency brake pedal will
release.

Well, that could be the case if the wheels don't turn at all. If they only lock up when you apply the brake, it's more likely that the star wheel is what's slightly too tight.
-
Every time you press the brake pedal, the star wheel assembly in the drums (which the '92 has) automatically adjusts itself (turns out on a bolt). Over time as the brake shoes wear away, this extending bolt pushes the shoes farther and farther out to make sure they stay close enough to the drum to stop the car.
-
When you do a brake job and put new shoes on, you have to remember to screw this bolt back in, otherwise they're now too close to the drum.
-
Keep in mind its normal for them to grab slightly until the new shoes set in. If its not too bad it may return to normal within a day. If not, or when you press the brake the back wheels lock up way before the front grabs, or even if you're just not comfortable driving the car, take the car back to the shop and get them to loosen the back brakes a bit.
-
If you do your own work and are comfortable doing your brakes, there is a plug you can remove on the backing plate and get in with a screwdriver to turn the star wheel while the drum is on. Don't do this yourself unless you're experienced or have the help of a pro. Your brakes are too important.

Will thirty three inch tires fit on 8 inch wide rims?
Yes, if the width of the tires are right. You can place 33" x 10" wide tires on 8" wide rims. Your tires will have a number like 33x15x10.5. This is a tire that is 33" in circumference, will fit a 15" wheel, and is 10.5" wide. Just verify whether you have 14",15" or 16" wheels before ordering.
The width of the tire is the determining factor here. The most common 33 inch tire size is 33-1250R15, these will probably be too wide for an 8 inch rim.
How do you remove ford explorer lug nut hub cap?
There is one spot on each aluminum alloy wheel that has an indentation in it that allows you to carefully use the tapered end of your lug nut wrench to remove the center cap . Just insert the tapered end and slowly give it a twist. I like to slip a cloth over the tapered end , because it is quite easy to put a nick in the cap
You might have a caliper "hanging up" a little and it's causing the disk brake pad to rub on the rotor. You can certainly have the problem taken care of at a brake shop. In GM vehicles and any other vehicle with a brake pad thickness sensor it can mean that your brakes are nearly worn out and need to be replaced.
Why do bike tires need more air in summer?
Tires leak a little over time, so if you haven't ridden during winter you will need to inflate them in spring to compensate for what's been lost over winter.
What is the difference between 285 65r18 tires and 275 65r18 tires?
The difference between a 285/65R18 and a 275/65R18 is height and width The first 3 digit number is the width measured in millimeters, 285 millimeters and 275 millimeters wide across the tread. The middle two digit number is an aspect ratio number or a percentage of the width. For example if the tread is 285 millimeters wide, than the aspect ratio of 65 is 185.25 millimeters. Meaning the side wall of the tire is 185.25 millimeters tall. 65 percent of 285 millimeters is 185.25 millimeters. So a 275 millimeter tire with the same aspect ratio of 65 will be a narrower and shorter tire, because 65 percent of 275 is less than 65 percent of 285. The R18 means that the tire is of radial construction and the tire is made to be mounted on a 18 inch wheel or rim.

Can you replace 245-75R16 tires with 255-70R16?
That is a fairly good swap. Know that your speedometer will show 60.8 mph at a true 60 mph. A better swap would be a 265/70-16. Your speedometer would show 59.7 at a true 60 mph.
What causes Excessive tire noise?
1. tread design: if it as an aggressive tread like on mud and snow tires
2. possible tire separation: when the belts on the inter structure of the tire serperate form low air pressure or impact to the tire and tire failure.
3. alignment: if you have worn out suspension or youv'e impacted the tire on a curb and the align is out of adjustment
4. a bad shock or stut: if the shock or strut is worn the tire may bounceas you drive and cause a noise.
That will be something to do with your brakes on that wheel. You may have a stone wedged between the pad and the disc, or your pads are completely worn. Take the car to a brake specialist. If you are confident in removing the wheel safely, inspect the brake assembly once the wheel is removed. You should see a smooth disc and a pad/caliper assembly 'clamped' around the disc, like a hand holding a frizbee. Inspect the pad for anything obviously wrong.
