Default Brake pedal sticks

Brake pedal was working fine until I tightened the band the other day. Now it does not return to the upright position when I take my foot off it. Any ideas?

Check the spring on the shaft, it may have collapsed or slipped between the ears on the band.

The spring did slip between the ears a little- one side of the first coil is pinched in there! Can I maybe put a flat washer between the ears and the spring to keep that from happening?

Will not be the first time someone has done that fix.
