Emergency Brake release handle

[Virginia]

Anybody know where I can find a replacement for the little handle you pull to release the emergency brake? I have a 91 6cyl, 4.0 4wd. Can't find one on ebay unless I'm not using the right name for it.

Try JimOshel. He might have one.

$16.95? For that price I'm gonna order a couple for myself. Tnx Don. :thumbsup:

I don't need the whole cable. I just need the piece that goes from the handle down to the flap that releases the brake pedal. It's about 8" long.

That's what the part is. The release handle + short cable.

Sweet! Thanks

Junkyard SCORE! Found a release handle from a red comanche for $2 AND found grey cloth bucket seats. Guess where I'll be next Saturday. Would have pulled them today but have to be somewhere at 4. It's got a good tailgate that I may take just to keep. It's red but I can paint that. I'll take pics if anybody wants me to.

Big mistake. You see something you want in a JY, get it now. It ain't gonna be there when you get back.

I would have but had no tools with me other than a screwdriver.

There was no picture of the part. Is this the upper cable - from the brake handle back to the split for the rear drums?

 

My cable is pretty rusted. Something about the floor pan rusted trhough.

No, it's the release handle. Like the picture I posted shows. Like the OP asked for.

The cable broke on mine yesterday. here's how I fixed it.

 

This procedure replaces the cable with a piece of coat hanger wire about 7 inches long. Requires a hack saw, Drill bit slightly bigger than the coat hanger wire, needle noes pliers.

 

1. Remove the t-handle from the bracket

2. Remove any remaining cable from the t-bar and discard

3. Drill a hole through the square rod on the t-handle about 1/4 inch from the end.

4. Cut the plastic housing (looks like a space ship) about 1/4 inch from the L bracket (where the two screws go in) with a hack saw.

5. Remove the cable sleeve retaining the bulb end of cable sleeve, then widen the hole in the bulb end with the drill bit.  

6. Insert the square rod through the plastic bracket then fish about one inch of hanger wire through the hole and twist to secure it in place.

7. fish the wire through the old bulb end

8. install this new assembly into the truck taking care to fish the wire through the hole in the lever and seat the bulb end into it's metal bracket

9. Twist the wire to secure it onto the lever

10. Might require a little bending to ensure it moves smoothly

 

Working great in my truck. Took me less than an hour.

Anyone have a spare you’d be willing to sell? I’m tired of reaching into the abyss to pop the brake 😁

Not sure if he has sold them yet but here's two options.

not sure if they are snatched before I get there or they broke long ago, but the pulls are usually missing at the junkyards.   I didn't see a single one in my stash when I was organizing. 

[MJCARENA]

Yes, I still have both handles.

[Shharks]

Anybody know where i can purchase this handle and cable?

[Pete M]

they pop up on ebay from time to time.
