Jeep JK handbrake parking brake not catching (pulling all the way up) - Diagnosis and (my) Fix

The Jeep JK series has a significant design flaw that causes the handbrake lever to have to come all the way up to engage (and sometimes it's still not enough). While there are several existing videos on different fixes, this video is meant to go over the flawed design, discuss why it stops working, and offer a simple fix that should work for the foreseeable future.

Wonderful video! My 2010 JKU has zero hand brake which has been worrisome for me.

what I want to know is what brake shoe spring you used

@CantonBn 2 ай бұрын

a set of springs for the the JK e-brake shoes is like $4 at any auto parts store and one the perfect size is in that set

@queuerayzy 2 ай бұрын

Just any ol' stiff-arse spring of the appropriate length. A brake shoe spring just happened to be lying around and fit the requirements. I believe it was from a kit for a Jeep JK or an older F150.

the little bar sticking down is suppose to be behind the tab sticking up below it, not in front, which is why the clock spring doesn't hold right. Mine just keeps popping over that tab.

ou ae wrong. that is a myth that has been mythbusted on reddit and couple of JK forums. Your "can't get it to stay" and it "keeps hopping back over the tab" because you tried to fix a part that is not broken, and is not "supposed to be behind the tab, it is supposed to be in front. You have two options: a) fix with an actual extra brake spring like this video shows, or b) getting a new mopar oem entire component which is $70 from dealer if you order on line and which takes about 20 minutes to install after you get console off.
