Does it take more friction to stop a car using emergency brakes or regular brake?
In order to stop a car using ONLY the emergency brake, roughly 4 times the force would have to be applied to the emergency brake system that the normal brake system. This is because the emergency brake only activates one to two pads in the rear of the vehicle, where as the normal brake system activates ALL the pads on every wheel. Emergency brakes are NOT designed to stop a moving vehicle, they are designed to hold a stopped vehicle in place.

Van manual won't roll or drive?
Will not move in neutral? Front wheel drive, transaxle came apart inside, a bearing froze up. Wheel bearing froze. Someone put the emergency brake on. If the clutch came apart, it would not drive, but should still roll. Front or rear wheel drive the only things that are going to keep it from rolling is the transmission breaking, a wheel bearing froze or the emergency brake.

How do you release emergency brake on a 2002 GMC Yukon XL with broken cable release?
My 2002 Yukon XL emergency brake cable just shredded this week. The cable is only a couple feet long and connects the release latch to a lever just above the emergency brake pedal (while depressed). The lever can be manually released by hand but be careful to guard your face as it could be in the path of the rising brake pedal. It may require 2 or 3 manual trips of the lever to get the brake pedal released to the highest position.I am still trying to determine where I can buy a replacement cable (other than GMC dealer) and whether I can replace it myself.
