Emergency Brake not working

Post by 94LegWagon »

Recently, the button on my emergency brake popped out, looks like some plastic tab broke off or something. I see the spring in the handle and when I lift it the brake is applied. The handle just wont stay up. So I just always leave it in first as my parking brake, but parking on hills isn't good.. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Should I go to a junkyard and try to get a whole new lever? TIA

You'll need a new lever.

Use a brick or rock under the wheel if you want to carry it in the car all the time and are to lazy to fix it.
