Subject:HELP! Stuck Parking Brake!!!!!
From:Route87
Date:Sun, 3 May 1998 14:53:05 EDT

I need help guys! Me & my boy are trying to get to the VW Jamboree but MrEd's
parking brake is stuck...seems like the left rear wheel won't move. It was
prefectly fine yesterday, wha' happen? Could it have been the wheel cleaner I
used? I scrubbed my wheels last night and rinsed them all right, but I  didnt
think it'd screw up my brake (especially drums...everything's hidden behind
the drum!)

What do I do?? I tried move forwards & backwards but it just stuck there. Im
in a garage(a very tight one) so it's hard to maneuvre at all...I also took it
out of gear to try to push it out and to see if a gear's gone funky, nope...it
still stayed.
Is it possible to loosed the brake cable enough to let it go? PB handle
doesn't come up as much as it used to also...some adjustment foul up??

I'll hang on line to get any help you guys can give me...
