    Handbrake does not work

    Hey everyone! My cars handbrake does not work. There is tension when I pull up but the brakes do not hold. Someone told me they are seized which may explain that weird noise that get louder and sounds (faster?) the faster I drive. Would I have to just replace my brake shoes or is there something else I would need to do? Also How do I do it? Never done it in my life.

      I'd bet money you'll need to replace your parking brake cables while replacing the shoes and hardware.

      The cables can be more fun than anyone is entitled to.
