Questions & Answers

What type of attachment do you have? Press on or screw on?

If the vehicle has a smidge of a hole already there, you might have to slowly drill it out once the press is on. After a little bit of drilling, I used epoxy and puttied the joint. I have tested it out, and it works perfectly.

How do you know if it's going to work with ?

I found it to be very generic and the opening to be quite Putting it on my mom's Ford Ranger required a lot of Super Glue. The Dakota stem is not known to be of the right size.

Does this have a screw on it? The handle has a nut inside, is that right?

This release rod does not have a nut on the inside. It is just plastic like the original. I simply unscrewed the old one and screwed the new one on (the release rod cuts a thread in it).

Can you please tell me how to remove the dowel pin from the emergency brake handle on a 1964 Dodge Dart?

An application for this handle will be found on GM vehicles.

I really like this product, and it's worth the money

5/5

This is an excellent product and a good value for its price. I am very pleased with how well it works. Despite Amazon's garage stating it will not work with an older phone The replacement handle actually works quite well on the 98 Ranger, and Ford has discontinued the actual handle itself. Drilling an opening slightly in the rod is all that needs to be done. A break release rod is attached snugly to the end of it. Furthermore, it's not too wide to fit well with the current break release. Despite not using glue, it stuck so well that I did not even have to use any. The drill should be operated slowly and only a very little of the plastic must be removed.

It looks just as good as the I had to ream out the hole, no drill, put small drill bit in pliers, twist, and use 3 different sizes, go slowly, with pliers hold the release lever, and ream the hole gently, being careful it won't become too large

4/5

It went in my 1974 Chevrolet pick up, so it got a 4 star review only because the hole was a little off center, but other than that it looked good, and no glue was necessary.

The product does what it's supposed to do

4/5

This brake handle is intended as a replacement for broken ones. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Considering that it is an inexpensive knock off and the plastic is thinner with mold issues, it still performed in the same way it should have.

I really like it! I used it on a Mazda 2WD Pickup in 1997

5/5

A tiny bit of drilling and some glue later, it was done. Worked like a charm and stuck on A simple repair is required.

I use this on my 1986 CJ7 I have correctly translated 7 into English

5/5

I wasn't sure if it would work. I bought this for my 1986 Jeep CJ I have correctly translated 7 into English. Initially was unsure whether it would fit as Advanced Auto offers this part on their website and it states that it won't work, but anyways I gave it a shot. The Advanced Auto show - don't listen to it A part such as this fits the.

Knockoffs that are made cheap- There's no power

3/5

As my classic muscle car required an upgrade, I decided to buy one. It is a low-cost way to solve the problem It was made to look like the real thing. There was no problem with the rod going through it, since it was thin. The GM parts I purchased for a few dollars more were genuine parts, so I threw this in the garbage. Do not buy it if you're looking for an authentic replacement.
