Guys
any tips on freeing up a a rusted e-brake cable. what i've done so far is to put a 5/8 heater hose over the end that connects to the caliber, disconnected it . Put a hose clamp so i get a good seal on the cable. I then proceeded to fill it with a combination of Marvel mystery oil, PB blaster, wd40, and other assorted oils. i have raised the oil end as high as possible hoping gravity would be my friend. after 3 days still frozen. and no sign of the oil on the inside of the car.
tried tapping on the cable. leaving the cable with tension from e-brake. nothing short of replacing the cable at this point. the car is 6 years old with the brake being obviously not used much.
