Best Answer

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.
