Default Rear E brake 1990 Corvette

Hi, one of my E-Brake calipers is not working! **(I have inspected the caliper and cables)** and the caliper works for the rear foot brake but its not working for the E-Brake.

**(When you move the arm, the piston/mechanism does not move)**?

I have the later type E-Brake from 89-96
Anyone had the same problem and resolved this?

On my 86, the parking brake doesn't work. I can pull it up, and it clicks, but I let go of it, and it just goes right back down. Probably just easy to fix, but I have some bigger problems with it right now, so the parking brake is the least of my worries.

With a name like vettemaster one would think you would know what the problem is. I really don't like the way the handbrake is designed on these cars. Have you inspected the cable and latch mechanism?
