It is definitely the ratchet system that broke. Known to be very failure prone.

Luckily it is a cheap part. If the link doesn't work, search "park brake hndle" for the 2005 cobalt.

As far as replacing, you should be able to get away with removing the panel under the parking brake, and the rear cup holder. If you have a armrest, you'll have to remove it too. Should just unbolt.
