my parking brake was sticking this winter and i was told that they do that in the winter sometimes because the condensation from hot brakes can freeze and make it stick. I drive a manual by the way. I was able to break it lose by tapping on the rear drum brakes and pulling the cable manualy. I used it a few times this spring on warm days but it still likes to stick. After a ten minute ride i can smell my drivers side rear brake burning a little bit and its hot to the touch. Should i replace the parking brake cable or what could cause this. Also when at slow speed like 5 mph or less the rear brakes become very touchy and lock up very easly.

 

I would pull those back tires off and take a look at them. There could be mud or other junk in there... I had mud packed in my rotors and dirt in my E brake when I did mine. I would check the springs and the adjuster. it could be corroded up some... are those 4 wheel disc on that year?
