Busted handbrake / steering issue.

[Monkeydonkeyratmagic]

Hi all.

So the final problem to solve on the motor.

When I last jacked the car up I think it was too much for already knackered hand brake.

Fact is it doesn't work at all on the rear right wheel. So as a result of pulling off the car hates it and turns on the handbrake light in red and kills the power steering / sets it to max resistance in sport mode. It is somewhat assisted still so it's not the motor.

Is there any easy enough fix for handbrakes that doesn't involved dropping the exhaust. I don't really have the option to drop it at home as I can't get it up in the air high enough. Pelican parts suggests to remove it outright but seems this is more for a complete change.
I'm hoping that it'll be snapped or something from the split and that can be repaired or bodged enough to get the car to know the handbrake is disengaged.
