Exclamation SOS!!! parking foot brake stuck!

I park the pig on a hill and used the parking brake 1st time in a long time. Now it is stuck and would release! Help me ASAP.

Can someone tell me how to release it manually
Where is the leveler to free it. Please please please!!,

there is a cable connection to the lever which has detached. If you drop the kick panel above you feet, you should be able to find it by feeling around to the left, it has a sleeve. Get a pair of grips on it and pull the best you can.

Don't use the parking brake

You might be able to do it with your hands, don't have the ability to photograph that right now sorry

If you feel around its a stiff cable tube with a cable inside which has a small ball on the end

This might be a stupid question, are you sure it is stuck? Not just the pedal has not fully released and the (!) light on your dash?

On my 955 after releasing the brake with the handle under the light switch, the light would still be on. I would put my toe under the foot pedal and lift it half an inch and the light would come off.
