Mk 1 Parking brake broken

I think it's just out of place. My wife had to roll the car out of the
garage the other day... and applied the brake really hard. So hard that it
was initially jammed and I couldn't release it. When I finally got it free,
that piece is now loose, and the brake won't engage. I check it out later
tonight.
Thanks
John

I think it's just out of place. My wife had to roll the car out of

that it was initially jammed and I couldn't release it. When I finally

Is the piece actually broken, or did it just fall out of place? I have
seen<br>
them fall out before, and if that's all it is, you just have to take it
out<br>
and rebuild it. It isn't hard, just a little tricky.<br>
<br>
If the piece is actually broken, it's time to hit the junk yard and get
hand<br>
brake assembly.<br>
<br>
