Depends if the ebrake line to the bracket was/is damaged. If its torn, or broken, obviously, yea.
The ebrake mechanism consists of 3 lines, 2 from the bracket to the rear calipers, and one from the bracket to the lever.
Here is my cool picture i drew for someone else.

I finally get to use that picture again. don't clown on the drawing!
oh, and when you disconnect the lines from the bracket, remember that it only goes in one way, so you'll have to tinker with it for a bit.
