Question

Technician A says a stuck parking brake cable may cause a hard parking brake pedal  with little braking affect. Technician B says a parking brake that holds only one wheel may have a broken equalizer. Who is correct?

Technician A is correct because a cable that is stuck can prevent the parking brake from releasing, resulting in a hard pedal feel with little to no braking effect. 
Technician B is also correct because a broken equalizer can cause uneven distribution of brake force, leading to a parking brake that holds only one wheel. Therefore, both technicians are correct.
