My e-brake is sticking. It started doing it a few weeks ago when it got a little colder. It was on and off, but now it seems to stay stuck. I haven't used it since the problem began. Its not stuck fully on, but just slightly. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they fixed it. I'd like to avoid completely disconnecting it, and be able to use it after fixing the problem, but if disconnecting it is what I have to do then so be it. The fact that it is stuck has stopped the loud vibrating from the rear when reversing, but this problem is worse. Let me know, thanks.

I don't exactly know what your asking, but if you take off the e brake boot, there's this nut there and if you loosen that, then that might help, at least thats how i tightened my e brake.
