You have to really pull on the cable with the tool to release it. If I remember right, it's about 3-4 inches of cable that will pull out.

I just got my parking brake failure fixed at the dealer. They have no idea why it happens, they just reconnected the cable and cleared the code.

I still can't believe this is something that won't happen from time to time due to poor engineering. Why would they include a tool, specifically designed to release the brakes after they fail, in the trunk?
