Default Parking brake ratchet replacement

Still working on getting the car on the road. Next on my list is getting the ebrake working so I can work on it in the driveway without having to chock a wheel.

The ebrake handle is the forward-of-the-shifter type with the push button on top, and won't latch in place. Looking at the teeth of the ratchet vs. the pawl, it looks like the ratchet teeth are worn down so they're not longer of a uniform length.









Which means my next step is to install a new one, which I've ordered. However, looking around online (here and elsewhere) and in the Les Andrews books, I don't see a procedure for removing that little bugger. Anybody done this and have advice/tips?


Also, this isn't this the 1929 style ratchet, from my research. Any thoughts on that?


Thanks
