SOURCE: how do I remove the brake drum on achevy 1 tone
depending on the axle type you may have to remove the bolts on the axle and (small bolts on the outer end should be eight or ten depending on the axle) slide the axle out then remove the lock clip on the bid axle nut ,the nut inside the drum assembly reqiures a special soket that you can get at any auto parts then you pull the drum and hub assembly off be carful not to damage grease seal on the inside of the drum install in reverse order when assembly is done check axle fluid level by removing fill plug by using a 3/8 rachet if fluid run over threads dont add any after that install plug and jack up axle one side at a time to let the fluid fill the bearing housing in the drum then on level ground check fluid level again it should just barely come over the threads of the filler hole
SOURCE: cant depress brake caliper to replace pads
disc brakes on the rear of a vehicle have a screw out mechanism that attaches to the ebrake . this means that you must turn the caliper piston to recess into the cylinder.
open the bleed screw to make it move eazier.
Testimonial: "thanks for "bleed valve" tip. I had to take the whole caliper off due to debris in the chamber,the brakes have not been maintained prior to me."

Sounds like a likely possibility, the reverse method definetly did the trick in loosening the brake, but it may still be slightly applied, put it in a warm place when you can, or have a shop look at it indoors, it may need to be re-adjusted, or even just warmed up until the cable frees up again

If it broke it should have released itself, the system is a simple cabel pully system, if its broken the cable cant have the tension to keep the brake engadged. if you want to release the handel pull the release and physicaly move the pedal.

You will have to manually release it. First make sure that your handle is still attached to the rod since these do sometimes have a tendency to brake, if it is broke, you just have to pull the rod by hand. If it's still intact, you will have to follow the rod to where it connects to the cables and once again, manually pull it by hand. You might have to actually follow it all the way to the back axle from underneath where the connections are made to apply pressure to set and release and make sure there isn't anything broke there. Worst case is that when you last set your e-brake, it broke inside the drums and you will have to rebuild. Hope this helps some. Good luck!
