How to lubricate parking brake, easy!
For some time now, my parking brake does not release fully, had to yank several times until the brake light goes out. It's a pain in the neck for me. I thought about taking car to see a mechanic. I think it's a common problem since I saw the solution on You-Tube. It's really quick and simple.
On the driver side of the dashboard where the parking brake release is located, pry out the side of the dashboard, use a putty knife to pry the side out, don't scratch the board, open the board (don't have to remove the small board) and look inside toward the front, you will see a small square opening, spray WD-40 or WD-40 lithium lube into the hole a few squirts, not too much. Apply the brake with your hand and release it several times and you are done! Works really well for me!
