I have noticed that my emergency brake lever/pad seems to have gotten loose/shaky lately....anyway to tighten this lever or assembly up? Ideas? It rattles, and if I hold the lever/pad while I am driving it of course stops rattling---I looked under the dash at it and it does appear to feel a bit loose---the whole assembly that is.......how and where can I tighten this up?? THX!....BTW, it is an '84 C10 silverado is that matters......

Theres a pin that holds the assembly togather over time it wears out. If the pin wears the two peices there isnt much you can do except find a doner ebrake. Now on the other hand if the spring assebly could be broken also resulting in replacment. Now it its just the lever peice moving there is a 2in spring that goes from the lever to the assembly thats gotten broken or gone missing.

THX, it just feels like it is about to come loose for the kick panel...(that make sense??...) Is it attached to the kick panel??
