My car was previously a race car with a nice 2.0L engine and already had a 5 lug conversion when I got it. The rears I believe are just drilled 4 lugs.. anyway, my emergeny brake works - that is it holds the car solid from moving when I pull it up. Problem is, the handle won't stay up (keep those jokes to your self) by itself. I think it's missing the half round ratching parts. I never looked closely at it because I just assumed there was more to it because of the 5 lug conversion. Could it be I just need those ratcheting pieces...why would someone remove them. I need a schematic of the handle and ancellery items.

I totally agree with BJ.
After setting the E-brake the handle can lower so that exiting and entering the drivers seat is possible. I bet that if you lift the handle it will stop at about 45 deg and then you apply pressure and push the unlock button. At that point the arm will lower but with tension since your releasing the brake. The same should be said for applying the brake you pull it up with tension but once the locking button sets you can let go of the handle and eith push it down your self or if it is loose it will fall down on it's own. If it does not "lock" on the way up and you have tension on the way down you have a problem with the lock mechanism AKA teeth or such. Just my input. |
