Brake Squeak First

Ok. Here's a humorous first. I am not making this up.



I couldn't figure out why the rear wheel had absolutely no brake friction. I adjusted all the way in but still nothing. I figured the shoes were just gone.



The wheel squeaked terribly when turned, even more supporting my obvious conclusion.



I removed the drum only to find (and I am not kidding) a mummified mouse INSIDE the wheel nestled (CRAMMED) inside. It may have been dead, but it was still squeaking!



I've never seen anything like this, and I have no idea how it could possibly have gotten in there.



Go figure.

    Yea, but the trap is probably tough to get into those little nooks & crannys... Wonder what was used for bait?



    Cheezy brake parts...:rolleyes:
