sonick Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 okay, so I found out today the passenger side parking brake is seized. It is permanently engaged, and doesn't release. Because of this, my brake cable is full of slack and sags when released. Also, the parking brakes now barely work because only one wheel is working. The brake operates normally, so it's not a seized caliper. How do I go about trying to un-stick it? There's one big bolt holding it on; is it as simple as just loosening it, pull off the lever, clean/lube it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 smack it with a hammer. knock the lever into the release position. but don't put your arm on the hot muffler like I did and burn it. I still have a mark from 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
