This is not my first rodeo tackling parking brake cable issues. This time, everything thing seemed normal. I stopped the trike, punched the p/b switch, heard a loud clunk and no parking brake. After removing the right side panels, I noticed the cable was not connected to the drive wheel. The slot for the head of the cable, on the drive wheel was 180degs off. The gear that activates the wheel would move about 3/4 of a revaluation, but the drive wheel would not move. While attempting to loosen the wheel's axle nut, I found the nut and axle would spin but the wheel would not and the nut would not loosen.
The wheel will move about 1/4 turn with the aid of pliers. At this location I can see no access to a nut on the other side of the wheel . The cable is not broken or frayed.
Any suggestions??
