Emercency Brake is broke

I pulled my E brake way too hard (long story) now it hangs up in the up position all the time. It can be difficult to get it to disengage. I am just looking for a ballpark idea as to the difficulty of this repair. I know most of you will need more info but that one guy who has done this before will know what I need

Thanks
Rich

I would think your problem is in the handle... start there.

remove the drivers side seat and see what you can do.

Sorry I can' help much; I had the dealership do mine. It's not a big job but I wasn't going to try it in the middle of the winter....real long story......anyhoo, my Haynes manual has a pretty good write-up, if you have a stumble post away and I'm sure someone can look it up for you, or you could always go out and pick up a service manual; mine is like a coffee table book.

Good luck.
