Moochalargo 0 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 the problem is the cables freeze to their guides!! where the cable runs from the caliper then in to the car!! there is a cover on them but tey perish and the any moisture freezes the cables in their tubes!!U need to get heat on these if u want the hand break to become free! if not wait untill the air temp gets to the +'s Link to post Share on other sites
