HELP! Parking Break Stuck!
Monday, March 26, 2007 6:20 PM
My 02 Z24(5speed) is stuck in my garage right now. When I release the P-Brake and lower it all the way down, it is still locked on and I cannot move the car. What can I do to fix this??

jack up and remove the rear wheels. then smack the drum with a hammer of your choosing. see if that loosens them up, you should be able to spin them, if not, try again.you may end up having to take the drums off.

In some cars geting them in reverse and some throtle will do the trick.

Is there anything else I can do? I mean, besides banging it with a hammer or throwing it in reverse and ruining the pb

well if you use a rubber mallet it wont damage anything. How long has it sat there?

Ummm.....all I had to do was wiggle the cables and pull on them....took less than 10 seconds....and involved a lot less hammering....

its been sitting for about 7 months, which is i'm sure part of the reason why its now stuck. I'll have to jack it up and pull the cables and if that doesn't work, pound the drum with a hammer....haha
