My emergency brake is not working. When I press the emergency brake down and put the truck in drive it moves forward. I've already had the brake shoes replaced I thinks the cable is seized. the question is how do I unseize the brake cable

Does the e-brake pedal go to the floor? If it moves, chances are the cables are not frozen. Have you tried to adjust them?

If you need directions, let me know if you have disc or drum brakes.
