Most cars have drum brakes in rear which the parking brake manipulates. Take off both rear wheels and brake drums. You should see a wire system inside that continues out the rear of the brake housing. This is the parking brake wire. Spray it with WD-40 or an equivilant rust penetrating oil. If this does not work, disconnect the wire from the brake mechanism and the brakes should release.
You can adjust your parking brake by turning the parking brake adjustment bolt. The parking brake adjustment bolt is located on the parking brake pad assembly.
the eldorado has an automaatics parking break. as soon as you put the transmission in gear the parking break releases.
it may be because there is another problem in the brake system
Put your foot on the brake, pu the car into drive and the parking break should disengage. if not, push on the parking break while holding the break in drive.
There is a lever above the parking break that you pull by hand.

I have a manual 96 Mazda Protege, with the parking break located behind the shifter. The adjustment bolt is located right next to the parking break on the left side (drivers side) of the parking break handle. you will have to remove the rubber cover around the parking break shaft in order to see the bolt.
If it's all the way over on the left, it's the parking/emergency brake. You set and release the parking brake with this pedal. If it's right next to the brake, it's a clutch.
Yes! That's basically what the parking break is... a switch that turns it on and off.
Chevrolet Blazer parking brake can be adjusted with the adjustment screw on the parking brake pad. The parking brake can also be adjusted with the parking brake cable.
