On my 89 B2 the parking brake ratcheting mechanism has locked up to the point that I can't push it down all the way, or pull the release. The ratchet gears are rusted and all the PB blaster, WD40 and brake fluid in the world wont unlock it.
I have come to the point that I'm willing to undertake the replacement of it. If anyone has done the job, do I need to remove the dash? There should only be three fasteners holding it to the body, and is there anything I should watch out for?
Any information would be helpful, I'll most likely be getting a new mech from a junkyard, so I will have some practice pulling a dash out if thats what it takes. Unless it's possible to buy them new? Either way, some advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
