my parking break got stuck recently to my 05 mustang v6. it must have been from the weather so i tried warming my car up, but that did not work. i finally went into my console and fiddled around with the handle from behind and finally it released. how can i prevent this or be able to fix it again?

I'd recommend Porterfield R4S pads for improved stopping power and a potential reduction in brake dust. Other pads may be just as good but I don't have any reference on them. Next I'd do stainless brake lines. If you want better looking rotors I'd look at dimpled or slotted but either way you may get more noise and less pad life. Just remember it's cosmetic so you can forego it if you're just going for performance or get whatever looks best to you.
but with the accords, mustangs, and carlos has anybody had trouble with their emergency break getting stuck?
Well, I have two Accords (a 1996 w/170,000 miles and a 2006 w/16,000 miles) and neither parking brake has ever gotten stuck (and I set it EVERY time I park). I have heard of some vehicles having their brake get frozen in cold COLD weather, sort of like having a tongue stuck to a flagpole in freezing weather.

while i'm on hear i'm debating on two upgrades to my 05 mustang. what size rims should i get on my mustang? is 22 too big or should i just stick with 18's.
and does anyone know about a car cover that has security system...lol don't want to invest in one and someone steals it. i live in a major city common issue hear.
On the right front wheel, the pads are worn to where they are centered within the pads. The inner rotor surface has the same wear groove from initially rubbing against the caliper bracket, until the total gap from pad wear opened enough for the rotor to center within the pads.
At this point I can order standard caliper brackets to see if they have the correct gap - I think Ford used non-standard brackets that have too small a gap on my car. Or, I can order the Wagner pad/bracket assembly, $125 each.
I think this is a serious safety issue.
