Parking Brake Pedal

[66yostagea]

Have not had a park brake for a while. The pedal is stuck fully down and had to slacken the cable to disengage brake.

so it is not the cable, that is free.

Has anyone had this prob and What caused it and how do you fix.????

I think youre aware of my thread on the sticking pedal. I think I have located it to the actual release mechanism, which is unfortunately right up under the dash behind. The whole assembly will have to come out.

Can you describe more symptoms? Can you not move it all out by hand while using the release mechanism? Ie, not letting the spring pull the pedal back. What if you try wiggling the pedal side to side while pulling on it?
