Subject:Emergency Brake - not locking
From:robertmstewart

So the other day when I had my van put on the tow truck bed (do to the
coolant hose leak, which I had repaired), the technician had me put the
emergency brake on. He had the Van chained at both ends but he had to tilt
the van on the bed several times making the brakes really have to have some
serious gripping. It never skidded or moved on the bed ever, but it had me a
little nervous.

Well when we arrived to the house, I disengaged the emergency brake and
drove it off the tow truck bed and I never bothered to test the emergency
brake afterward, well today something told me to test it.  Now for some
reason the hand brake lever will not lock! I checked the line itself and
it�s fine, it just will not lock when I pull the handle up.

I assume that something in the hand brake is broken, any ideas before I
attempt taking it apart?

Thanks In advance.
