Hi,
My friend pulled the ebarake out and I mean out. I now have a handle, small H like piece of metal and 1 small spring. Do you know where I can find a diagram of how to put it back together?
Thanks

 

1964/66 F100/250 2WD & 4WD.

Exploded view of the entire parking brake system (including the handle) illustrated here:

1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Illustration Section 26, Page 9.

FTE member Old Harley has this catalog, can scan and post illustrations.

A local Ford dealer might still have this catalog.

You could contact obsolete parts vendor GREEN SALES CO. (greensalescompany.com-513-731-3304) in Cincinnati OH, ask them to scan, then fax or email you a copy of this illustration.

Or...this catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com for 22 bucks.

Posted diag. on a thread concerning the E brake equalizing bar, the thread was posted several months ago. Sorry, pic did not come out that well, being computer illiterate this is bout as good as it gets.

I am admittedly slow, and with my ole timers' senior moments I could not figure out how to reassemble the E brake by looking at the pic's. There is what I will describe as an arched square 'metal insert, or clip', which I believe to be #2786 in the pic. It has a slight arch to it and approx. 1/4" thick, and 1/2" wide, and 1/2" long. It is inserted into the E brake housing and when tention is applied to the E brake handle, or when the E brake is pulled, this 'metal insert' slides along the notches in the handle and the spring, which i believe to be #2788, forces this 'metal clip' into these notches and locks the handle in postion. Found with the E brake housing and handle removed easier for me to fiqure out. Started by placing the 'metel clip' in the E brake housing then installing the handle to determine which direction this 'metal clip' goes; can only go one way to work correctly. Then I fiddled with the spring so it applies tention on the 'metal clip' thus locking the E brake handle in position. Sorry for the pathetic explanation, it's been several yrs. since disassembled the 65's.

 

Here is a blow up of the E brake handle assy portion. Just a little easier to read than Daves, but the same. Let me know if this helps.

 

THe part 2786 in Illustration goes with bevel side up and to rear of truck. If not correct the brake will not engage properly.

I can get a pic if you would like as just put one together yesterday.

 

Could have saved a few grey cells and jjs64F100 some confusion had my pic came out as well as OldHarleys.
