Brakes problem
1993 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic lots miles

My parking brake is not engaging when I pull the parking brake lever inside my car. I figured that was an important thing to have working, so I'm looking at repair options, but I'm also not that mechanically minded.

So, when I pull the parking brake lever... nothing happens. No braking action occurring here at all. It worked when I got the car, and then I noticed once that it didn't work as well as I thought it should be, and tested it. There was no braking power left at all.

What's wrong, and How do I fix it? Can this be done on the street by myself and a buddy?
