Driveshaft Emergency Brake

The emergency brake on our Euro was non-functional when we purchased it so I took some pictures while I had the driveshaft down to install the new brake shoes I found under the couch.

WARNING:
One thing that is extremely important when working on vehicles with this driveline style emergency brake is to chock the wheels front and back before removing the driveshaft for any reason. Since the emergency brake depends on the driveshaft to keep the rear wheels from turning if you remove the driveshaft the vehicle can easily roll away on you.

Here are the pictures I took:
