So I've had an issue where the ebrake handle ractchet doesn't always catch. Today i was pulling carpet to inspect my longs and had to pull the handle so thought i would look into it.

First, is the pivot supposed to be slightly bent toward the rear?

^^That might be my issue. You see the pawl will tweak to the inside and looks to miss the teeth. I think the bend in the pivot would cause this...
Anybody experience this before and have a fix? Maybe i could bend the pivot?. Any help is appreciated.

The issue I had for one park brake handle , was the spring for the button was not pushing the ratchet enough to allow it to catch. I would recommend that you remove the handle and look closely ath the spring that is located in the handle.
