Default Re: Parking brake ratchet replacement

Good advice--I always chock it when I'm working on it since my driveway has an incline. In the garage not so much, unless I have one or more wheels off the ground.



I suppose if the repop doesn't work, I could always build up the teeth with my MIG welder and then grind them back down to the correct profile. I thought about that as a first step, but decided to see what happened with a replacement first. I remember from my last car that a lot of the reproduction stuff wasn't up to snuff. Maybe not as bad as some of the 70s stuff, but some of it was sketchy.
