Re: Stuck emergency brake

You'll have to go down where the pedal is and release it manually. Make sure you keep some pressure on the pedal with your hand when you release it. This is a very important step, because when I did it, I had my nose in the way and the pedal came up and busted my nose

Re: Stuck emergency brake

It is also possible that the e-brake cables are frozen up in the housing at the rear wheels. If that is the problem good luck! you will probably have to replace them.
