the brake cables are probably seized in their sheats try lubricating with release all
----------------------------
The way i get stuck emergency brake cables freed is to clamp vise grips onto the emergency brake cable and hit the vise grips with a hammer. Clamp the vise grips onto the cable a few inches before where the inner cable goes into the outer sheath. Make sure that the vise grips are 90 degrees to the cable and tap on the vise grips. You wont have to hit very hard, usually just a few bangs will get the cable to work back into the sheath and free the brake. Remember not to use the emergency brake again until you get it fixed.

Where is the brake release on 1988 fleetwood Cadillac?
Cadillac brake release: All of the Cadillacs that I have had, there is no brake release. When you put the car in drive, the parking brake automatically releases. This is good, since if your brakes ever fail, you can use your emergancy brake like a regular pedal-thats if your emergancy brake is working good. To add to this Cadillac's have a manual release in case the auto fails. Most are at the top right of the emergency brake petal, there's a little lever that pulls forward. That should release it. ( I currently have a 89 that the petal doesn't want to release half the time)

How do you do a hill start in car?
Unless you are talking about a manual transmission, you do the same when you start it normally but you can also use the hand brake the same as the pedal brake. If you using a manual transmission you have to release the clutch just enough to hold the car in place when you take your foot off the brake pedal. This keeps the car from rolling backwards. Then you release the clutch while pressing on the accelerator. It takes practice.

if it does not release automatically when put in gear the is a manual release lever built on the side of the e brake pedal. get under steering wheel look for small black lever and make sure your fingers are out of the way of the pedal when you tug on the manual release lever. normally a vacuum servo works the release but sometimes servo or vacuum problems fail to operate it
