I have a couple questions about the parking brake system as ive literally never had my parking brake work, and now i have to pass a state inspection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So here we go: are the cables the same cable on the left and right side of the car? and does anyone have the gear the brake handle latches on to, the W shaped piece that balances the two cables, and the spring that retains that W piece they could sell me?

Left and Right are different lengths. You will want to make sure your cables are not frozen as one of your 1st steps.
@bdstone914 @chi-town Or Camp i bet will have the parts you need. If your cables are junk, new ones are ~$90 (when I looked recently, not knowing if mine were going to free up) |

If you see anything poking through the firewall that the "W" attaches to, your cables are there. If you just have holes, cables are gone.

You also need to know if the parking brake on your calipers actually work. Many don’t. PMB Performance will rebuild them to new and they have all the parts and cables to make the system work.
