Parking brake handle removal

#1 Post by Tim Menefee »

Hi, I'm trying to remove the parking brake handle. I have removed the small pin and tried to knock off with a wood block and hammer. Any ideas?

I just 'fixed' my parking brake/handle on my 61 rdstr.....I had to first drive out a broken wrist pin (real small) to unscrew the handle then realign the handle hole to the brake rod hole and drive in a new wrist pin, which I got for NLA.
