Matt, Look under the car to see if the ebrake cable has tension on it.If you didnt pull it it shouldnt but thats the best way to make a quick check.Or you could jack up the rear and see if the rear wheels are locked. Tim

Did you eveer get to the bottom of it?
was it rusted backing plates? or corroded wheel cylinders?

the cable was rusted and i didnt want to use it again so i just cut the damn thing and took the breaks off. not using them anyways. frame was stripped and powder coated.
