this should provide some entertainment for you. I destroyed my clutch a while back and my 240 has been sitting in the driveway ever since. The reason I'm an idiot is because i left the fucking handbrake on. Now its ceased. lol When I let the handle down I can pull it back up to where it is stuck without hearing one click. So i guess the cable is the problem?
In any case.....
How do i go about un-ceasing the handbrake? I considered waiting until i install my clutch and then using the motor to break it free.... somehow that seems like a bad idea?
ps..... The handbrake works with shoes inside the rear brake disks right?
shoot a lot of power lube the the back side of caliper and the cable. if it fixes it. make sure you really clean the brakes up with brake cleaner. if not the calipers are probably siezed from the piston. and youll have to replace or rebuild your calipers

Wow.... thats the shittiest thing I've heard in a while. I'm confused..... the handbrake operates the calipers? i though there where shoes inside the disk?
To fix the emergency brake system, first release the hand brake. Check all three cables for any seizing. At each caliper, there's a lever; make sure they are not seized up. Worst case is you may have to take the calipers off to repair them.
Looks like i'm in for a nice cold day in the driveway.... damn Canadian winters. Do you think this will get any worse if i wait until spring to deal with it?....
