E-brake sticking at caliper

Anyone had a sticky caliper, specifially the e-brake control? I tried lubung it all up again but it sticks every time. I'm currently driving without using my ebrake.

I don't wanna replace the calipers if I cn avoid it. Anyone had this problem? Got a good fix?

go underneath the rear tires and knock the lever which the wire is on. Knoch that lever to open up. ur caliper may freeze again though.

a guy a carx showed me mine was locked and took a straight screw driver then hammered the little arm the cable connects to back to the open position. look at the opposite side to see which way it goes. reread this 3 times, it may be hard to understand

I drove around for months with a rear caliper frozen. Not only the cable brake was not working, but the hydraulics were not working either on that wheel. I replace the caliper last weekend. I suggest you read my post:
