I fixed mine. Chassis #1855 and 2584. Quite simple actually, I took 'em out. Saves aggravation, the expectation that they'll work and the weight.

If you're in an emergency the time it takes to realize that the e-brake has failed as well is time not well spent. These might be better called "parking brakes" but even that is an overestimation of their performance.

For parking I use wood as Blas has recommended or fold-up chocks with a string to facilitate retrieval.

The driveshaft mounted brakes collect all the grime from the engine and road which helps with the slip and keeps the disk from rusting.

Good luck.
