the pins that click my handbrake into place are worn.. is there a way to rotate this to better pins? or do i have to replace it completely.. it holds car when i pull the handbrake up.. just dont click in.

Mine is rooted too. The teeth that the ratchet catches on break off over time.

From what I've looked at the removal requires the loosening of a bolt on the side of the trans tunnel (inside the car) and replacement of that mechanism. Might need to loosen the handbrake cable too.

happened to my car

u have to undo the hand brake cable from under the car, then undo the 2 bolts on the side of the transmition tunnel (found between the passanger seat and the handbrake leaver) DONT FORGET to disconnect the handbrake light wire or u will have some re wiring to do. no it will all slid up and out.
then put the new on in the way it cam e out
