    My grandson fixed the problem. He got my rubber mallet and bludgeoned the brake handle a couple of times and it popped back out...Dr. says he'll be fine in a day or two...🤕 🤛

    Perhaps some graphite might help prevent it from happening again. If you pull off the leather handle, you will have better access to getting the graphite in there.

    Yes sir. That's what I did, and it's been working fine now. Thanks.
