Yes, I actually use my p-brake. Unfortunately it was stuck this a.m.Now at
115k miles, the cables were replaced in 2004 (about 80k). What is the most
common situation? Simple cleaning and lubrication at the rear wheels (sadly
neglected for a few years)? I read through Fred Munro's write-up - sounds
like a bit of a hassle to replace - supposed to be 50 degrees in a few days
anyway. Took the MB to work.

Peek head under, reach in, smack the silver 'cam' lobe on each lower inner caliper with a notso BFH.  Shoot the fulcrum / contact areas with some douchelube.  Try not to use on these 10* a.m.'s in the NE.
