Re: [MBZ] parking brake fiasco

Pagids from Q long ago.

May not be OE quality, as the springs were a bit off compared to those 
removed.  I had the same issue on the other side, but was able to massage it.  
I can't get this side to massage.

I may just yank the offending side and not mess with it until I get a shoppe to 
tackle the issue

 have a good idea of other steps to take?
