Emergency Brake Lever-Won't Ratchet My
My E-Brake lever wont stay engaged. Not sure what the issue is but the release handle is no longer spring loaded. Is this an easy fix?

I can try that. What ever was spring loaded is no longer.

X2 Could also be that the spring for the pawl has broken, but I'd start with a good cleaning and light oiling. Mine would do the same thing until I put a little oil on it.

Same here. I had to block the tires in the driveway to keep it from rolling til I got the thing cleaned/oiled.
