Virginia Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 8" long. That's what the part is. The release handle + short cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If he doesn't, try here: http://www.newdodgeparts.com/OEMParts/jeep-131/5/52000861.html 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.

HOrnbrod Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No, it's the release handle. Like the picture I posted shows. Like the OP asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co-MAAAN-cheee Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 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.

Big_Mark Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Anyone have a spare you’d be willing to sell? I’m tired of reaching into the abyss to pop the brake 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
