Hi,
I really need help on how to put back the center console on my 2000
Mustang. Can't figure out how to get the e-brake handle back into the
slot without breaking something. It came off with much effort, BUT I'm
pretty sure there has to be a trick in getting it back on.

Thanks

Can't he just loosen the parking brake cable under the car?

Nope, the handle has a ratcheting adjuster that needs to be released to
get any slack. Needs someone else under the car pulling the cable back
while he releases the ratchet mech.

There really isn't any trick to it, but it shouldn't require a great
deal of effort to get it out either. My handle doesn't come up very
far and it's never been an issue. I'll gladly scan and mail you the
relevant pages from the Ford workshop manual if you think that it
might help.
