Re: Frozen Parking Brake Cable

Update - After much articulation and rust penetrant I was able to break loose one of the sides. As I would bend the cable the rust would flake out from the cable covering. The other side would not budge, even after soaking in a variety of liquids, ATF and Acetone, Evaporate-rust etc. During the attempt to brake it loose some of the strands broke. So that paired with the lack of movement pushed me to order a new one.

On the positive side, Evapo-rust worked awesomely on the cable hanger. It removed all the rust after two days in a soak impressive stuff! It is also safe for you and the environment.
