when you push in the emergency brake cable on my truck its a tad bit hard to push in but when you want to let it out and go to pull on the release nothing happens. I used all my body weight to push down on the plunger while i pull on the release and nothing happens it stays stuck on and i finally got it to release but with a huge crash , hurting 2 of my fingeers


does anybody know what could be causing my emergency cable not to release without some serious force applied

thank you

It appears the cables are seizing up.

Time to lube them.

Remember that saying : "Use it, or lose it"

That is what has happened.
