Hi guys,

Newbie here. Stupid first post I know. I am having a problem w/ the parking brake on my cobra. The other day I pulled it up & something snapped. I checked the cables at the rear & at the equalizer & everything appears fine. I pulled the center console & noticed that the spring on the e-brake handle lost its tension.

Does anyone know how to reset the spring tension, or if a special tool is needed?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

If something "snapped" , something broke. That is why you do not have any spring tension. What broke is the problem.

Do you have any e-brake at all?

When you said you checked the cable, what did you check? The cable or the sleeve that the cable runs through?

Grab a hold of the cable at the e-brake lever side with a pair of vice grips and pull. You'll find out in a hurry if it's a broken cable or not.

You might want to check the spring tensioners on the rear calipers as well.

By the way, NOT a stupid first post.

However, stupid first answer to your first post.
