I have a 93 Legacy LS Wagon, and the release button is gone from the E-Brake Handle.....

anyone have some diagrams on how it all works? so I can see what all I need to replace....

 

The car is really clean, original paint, with really nice interior.....would like to fix this little issue

 

Thanks for any help....

 

 

Here's the Subaru parts diagram for the handle...as helpful as it is.

 

 

Subaru does not offer parts for he button, just the entire handle. I grabbed one part number at random, and it's $100, and still available.

Thanks, yeah, that isn't very clear on the workings of the handle for sure....

but thanks for the info....I Might mess with it some and try to figure out a fix for it...

Wow, that wagon looks nice!  Did you buy it used?  How many miles on it?

 

For a brake handle, try a Pull n' Pay yard.  Or try online used parts sites.  Good luck.

I bought it used for a spare car for my daughter while her car was down with a bad transmission....it is really nice for a 93, original paint, and clean inside, has 168k on it, and seems to have been well maintained. I actually have it up for sale, as it isn't needed anymore..... http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/5901070381.html

I may be imagining it, but I seem to recall someone creating a button from a ball-point pen cap?

HAH! I did find this, 11 years old and I replied for them to ask here! (I guess it was a wire nut and not a pen cap? lol!)
