Upon a quick glance at the chilton's and haynes manuals, I didn't see any instruction for replacement. I'll assume the part will be ordered from the Jeep dealership, but I still need some pointers on how to fix this. So, the questions is: "Can anyone here give me some pointers on how to fix the thing?" Can you believe this has happened to me on every car I've owned?! I'll have to evaluate my actions to see if there's a trend that's causing this destruction... Thanks in advance!

That information being known, I think I'm going to try a little JB weld and see how that goes. If that fails, it's off the the junk yards! Thanks for the input! Oh, and I think they're breaking from a strap occaisionally getting caught on the release button and me pulling on the bag without realizing it's caught although, I would like to believe it's my herculean strength). 1998 Cherokee Sport/4.0 L H.O./5 speed manual Bitchin' stereo/modified seat to fit my long legs Considering off-roading acessories before vehicle upgrages Re: Parking Brake Button Broke!

When i use it i just press the pedal till i wont move. When i get in i just pull a little till it releases. Are you jerking it? The constanst sudden jarring could create a weak point. just pull, very soft sweet and lovingly.

My cherokee is a standard transmission and therefore has the hand operated parking brake...So I'm pretty sure it's not my heels (or any other lower appendages <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />)getting caught! 1998 Cherokee Sport/4.0 L H.O./5 speed manual Bitchin' stereo/modified seat to fit my long legs Considering off-roading acessories before vehicle upgrages Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
