Joe,
Hope you get this issue resolved. It makes me want to go under my truck and lubricate all my emergency brake pivot points, for I rarely ever use the emergency brake and just a couple days ago, I suddenly had to. Worked fine but.....what if.

Thanks Dan for the pics. Good reminder as to where the pivot points are.
