What needs to be replaced on the parking brake? Is the cable broken, or is the mechanism bad. Is there a problem in the rear brake drum?
More information is needed!!

What type of brake mechanism do you have? Is it cable driven? What I mean is do you hear a click....click...click when it is engaged? If yes it is possible that the cable just needs to be replaced and not the whole brake mechanism.
Or the cable may be pulled too tight as was the case on my car. Make sure it is not strained. If it is not too tight, replace the cable. and this should solve your problem. But I would take it too a shop to have them check it out especially if you have a stick shift where engaging the parking brake is a necessary part of operation.
