How do you get the back braking system off when the emergency brake seems to be stuck?
Stuck parking brakes are usually due to dirty/worn cables. Try tapping on the brake backing plates with a hammer. Don't hit them real hard and damage them. Some times this will allow the return springs to back off the brakes. If it works and they stick again next time you use your parking brake you need new cables.
