Hello gang...

I am stuck at home this morning... No, not ice or snow, but my parking brake is frozen... I twisted the handle and there is NO resistance. Looking under the troop, the cable has a lot of slack in it up to the point where it connects to the rear cables. I yanked, sprayed penetrating oil on it, and nothing.

Any ideas on how to free it up (Short of laying underneath with a hair dryer)?
