E-brake won't go off/disingage

Ok well its been raining here and I would only allow myself a little fun. After dropping my landlord to the Doc and dealing with all the morons that can't drive in the rain cuz its the dessert. Too blow off a little stem I pulled a e-brake turn into my driveway and parked it. No more than 5min I had to go get my landlord, I go out to find that the car wont move at idle in drive. After messing with the lever for a min I could tell the the arm moved with no force tell about 2/3 of the way to the top. So I climb under the back end to see if anything jumps out at me. I was there long enough to tell I'm not familiar with the setup. With no other choice I had to get her with the e-brake stuck on (about 6-8miles round trip) and now I'm here to finger the darn thing out lol.....plz help

Edit: forgot to mention that I have had the Trac and ABS disconnected for about a month..... it shouldn't matter but what the hey.

Sounds like your Bell Cranks are frozen.

Here is one of the best write ups I've seen for fixing them.

It says Tacoma, T100, and Tundra, but the 4runner has the same setup.
When I first got my 4runner they were sticking bad, I could pull the ebrake lever all the way up. I broke them free, but now I need to pull them apart and fully clean them.

ah thank you for that. The Bell Cranks are what I looked at and said wtf too lol. and I do remember looking at them and seeing the "gap" so I'm sure and glad thats all it is. thank again :thanks:
