Emergency Brake Handle slipping, won't hold

My friend's Emergency Brake is tricky:
It usually doesn't hold, but pops off again.
Its as if the 'teeth' somewhere inside were worn,
or maybe a ratchet has been rounded.

What is the right fix for this?

thanks

Sounds like the actuator is stripped. The actuator/lever assy will need to be replaced.

I'm sure you could. Shouldn't be too pricy.
