Parking Brake Trashed

[ajohnson928]

I bought my MJ a few days ago (always been driving TJ's) and was told at the start that the parking brake cables were cut.  Did a little inspection and they are cut, but the reason for being cut is that the release handle is broken off and the pedal is stuck on the floor.  

 

Has anyone replaced a release handle before?  Any clues on releasing the thing so I can start installing replacement cables?  I'm planning to just replace all three to be safe.

 

I appreciate any help you all can offer.

There is a little arm that the end of the cable fits into.

If you pull that arm, the pedal should come back up.

If it don't come back up, the return spring is missing or damaged.

Be careful trying to release the arm, it could release with the force of the spring and cause injury.

If the mechanism is fubared, I have a mechanism with release cable that I'd sell for $50 + shipping.

It wouldn't be a jeep if it didn't draw a little blood from time to time.

I'll spend the weekend working on it may be PMing you about that assembly.
