Parking brake pedal not staying engaged


Recommended Posts

For a while my parking brake wouldn't catch on the ratchet, and therefore just didn't work. I've been tearing my interior apart recently and noticed suddenly its working again. Could the hood latch or kicker panel have possibly been pushing on something which was releasing the teeth?

If you have a hydraulic press or even a good air hammer, you can tighten down the main pin for the pedal until you get almost zero play (make sure it still move smoothly though). You can also tighten the pin for the catch lever/cam. A slightly tighter lever spring and you should be good to go.
