Today I go to let my emergency brake down and it won't go down all the way. After playing with it it finally went down all the way with a little force. Made a squeaky sound you could hear outside the car. Heard the rear brakes a little on the way out of my driveway too. Did my emergency brake cables spontaneously rust solid? It was sitting in the garage all night. They are fine now- made a couple trips today since.

The E brake on my nx has gotten to the point where it doesn't disengage anymore(frozen caliper pistons??) so I just completely stopped using it. But the brake handle on mine goes down without a problem the only problem in my case is that the brakes don't release. Try spraying some WD40 on the rear calipers and hopefully that noise wouldn't come back.
I dont know too much about brakes so this is as deep as my knowledge goes
Good luck,
Nick
The rear right caliper locked up on me a few days ago, I took the wheel off and pushed on something the spring was connected to (sorry dont really remember) and it unlocked... maybe those are the parts sticking. There was a loss of tension on my e-brake handle when it happened.
sounds like the cable froze. How cold has it been there Ben? I know on my samurai it froze a few times. Usualy did it below about 20 degrees it did it alot.
Mine did the same thing Ben, it does it off and on. I dont personaly know what it is, I believe its something in the actual handbrake itself, and not the cable or the caliper. If it was the cable, the brakes would simply not disengage, and the handel would go down, and the cable wouldnt move, because its only acctually held on to the handel with a nut on the end of a cable that has a bolt on the end of it. Theres nothing on both sides of the bolt, just one one side. It bassiclly just pulls on the cable and depends on the springs on the calipers for the cable to release tension. Hope this helps, and if you dont understand, its late, and I'm going to bed...
hmm, usually its the caliper or cables... but this time i would say its the ebrake handle itself... the release button is really a funky mechanism inside, not surprised if one in many decides to give up, too bad its happening to ben...
of course, make sure its not the ebrake pivot on the caliper thats seizing first... its usually that or the cable..dump a load of wd40 there...
