Jim, just so I'm clear, when you lift the emergency brake lever to it's peak
position, then press the button, it does not lock? (I remember how surprised I
was that simply lifting the lever didn't automatically lock the lever, but that
I had to press the button to make that happen.)
The Moss catalogue has a breakout of the brake lever internal workings. I
think I remember that to disassemble, you have to disconnect the ratchet
assembly at the bottom, and the spring assembly lifts out from the top. I had
to replace the pawl on mine, because it was too worn to catch the ratchet.
