E- Brake handle

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic E Brake handle from the shaft ? Also the shaft out of the tube .

I want to take the assemble completely apart to refurbish it properly .

Thanks

Handle (2760) held to shaft (2790) with lock pin (2819), but I see no reason why you would need to remove it.

When the handle is pulled, pawl (2786) drops into one of the serrations on the shaft, cable (2853) has to be disconnected.

All the parts are obsolete, none are reproduced AFAIK, some are available NOS, but no one has the handle.

every part on the assembly has some degree of rust , I need to fully disassemble it to have the parts cleaned , stripped and replated . The plastic handle is in great shape and I do not want to ruin it getting it off . Also the rod 2790 will not come out because of part 2859 ( pressed in or screwed in ? ) . The cable has been taken off ... that was the easy part

From what I can tell, it's very similar to the e-brake handle on a 54 Ford.

Here's a link to a tech thread I wrote for the 54 Ford Club showing how to remove/disassemble the e-brake handle.

The parts are obviously not the same, but the basic way that they both work seems to be the same with the little spring-loaded catch and the serrated main shaft.

Give it a look and see if it helps any.

The parking pawl (OM-2786), parking pawl locking spring (OM-2788) and the parking brake lever pin (OM-2859) are the same, nothing else is.

The 1952/56 parking brake handle and shaft were only furnished with the complete assembly.

These parts could be purchased individually or with the complete assembly on 1961/66 F100/250's.

I still see no reason to remove the plastic handle from the shaft. Plus I doubt y'all be able to do so...without breaking it. Once the 2819 pin is pressed in, I doubt it can be removed.

OK Numberdummy....you can put the little question mark frowny faces in my comments if you want and restate the obvious, but it's completely clear that I was simply offering up something that I thought might help in a small way.

That's all...nothing more.

I think TxStang (and probably the rest of us) are big boys and girls and can figure out basic things like inhaling oxygen, exhaling carbon dioxide and recognizing that a 54 Ford car is not a 66 Ford truck.

I did not knock your article, but...if I hadn't chimed in, car & truck people would not have known that the 3 parts are the same and two of these parts, the pawl and the spring are usually what fail.

You did not say it was a car, all you said was 1954 Ford. 'Course if people clicked on the link, they would have found this out.

And...if you had the 1949/59 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog, you would have known the parts are the same 1952/56, plus these 3 parts were also used on 1950/51 Ford cars.

No need to get defensive guys , I do appreciate both of your help on this . I worked at a Ford dealer for 17 years but this old truck was built the same year I was born and nothing this old ever came into the service dept. I don't think the dealership even had books or microfiche for this old a vehicle . I do feel its better to ask a stupid question and get opinions and advice from others than to try the gorilla tactic and break things .

The truck is fully disassembled accept for this stupid E brake because I didn't want to break the parking brake lever pin (OM-2859) taking it out not knowing if it screwed in or was a press fit .

That's fine. I understand.

And, in spite of your sometimes slightly abrasive style of communication, I sincerely appreciate all the assistance you provide, totally free of charge, to this forum.

It's definitely pressed in.

knowing that and looking at a hole directly across from it I will attempt a light pressure on the arbor press from the opposite side and see if it will budge ...... no "gorilla force" will be included . If it doesn't want to come out I will just leave it as is and see if they can electoplate it while together .

Did you get the pin out? I was at this point last night and decided I wanted to detail mine. Obviously far easier if it is apart. So, I lined up the hole with the backside of the pin like you noticed and used a pin punch to tap it out. Only took two light taps and out it came.

The pin (C0DZ-2819-A) I'm referring to is the one that retains the plastic e-brake handle (C1TZ-2760-A) onto the shaft, what the OP asked about in post 1.

This pin is obsolete, so is the handle, neither are reproduced. In post 2, I asked the OP why he wanted to remove this handle from the shaft.

TxStang2010 is the OP and in post #1, if you go back and read it very carefully, he says

"Also the shaft out of the tube ."


I was writing to him about that portion.
