Default WTF! ebrake broke

I parked my car in the driveway to wash it and when I pulled the ebrake, the car began to roll back. I was like wtf, and pulled the car in the garage and put it on jackstands. I found that on my left rear wheel, the hook that the ebrake cable hooks on to broke off. How do I go about repairing this?

Buy some new brackets.

I think I have a set of them upstairs if you're interested, let me know.

Very interested. Are there any writeups on how to install these?

Pretty simple just need the brackets and remove the (2) bolts that hold the brackets in place and replace them. Should take a couple of hours for a novice to do. Not really difficult.

I look thru my parts collection tomorrow and get back to you.
