Parking Brake won't release

Just checked mine, the liquid graphite seems to be doing its job as its free and smooth.

I have successfully used a shop light with a 60W bulb in it to thaw out frozen cables. Just clamp the light onto the frame or something solid and aim the light at the frozen object. In short order the ice will start to melt. The good thing about this trick is that the bulb won't get too hot and melt other things that don't need to be melted..

Thats a great idea.

If you fill the housing with a lubricant that clings well, is not like concrete in the cold, it will keep the moisture from freezing the cable in the housing. I just did not think to "lube" mine before the freeze. It was fine until I took a 7 hour ride in the slop a couple of weeks ago.

I am hoping that we will see some above freezing temps here on Saturday. If not, I like the light bulb idea and thanks for the contribution on that.

Now, I have to go and find a clip on light....
