Default parking brake pull back spring needed?
In an effort to discover a clicking sound from the rear end, I found a broken spring in the emergency brake assembly. The spring is the upper pull back spring that pulls the two shoes back to it's resting location. It is one spring, but has two coils in it. I called our dealer and they said that spring has been discontinued.

Is this spring required? Any suggestions of where to get just this spring? (probably need two, the other side could be broken too) The other components seem just fine.

Thanks,

Kev

Vette Brakes a Products may have the spring, they have to have them for the e-brake kits they have.
