Default Parking brake hanging up

I have a 99 GT. I'm haveing a problem with the parking brake not releasing. I did some work on it this winter and after putting in back together the passenger side rear brake hangs up after I set the parking brake. I replaced pads, rotor, caliper, even the parking brake cable. Still it hangs up. Any suggestions?

I believe there was a TSB or a recall on some 99 and 00 model mustangs regarding the Parking Brake handle..Go to the dealer and have them look it up.

yeah i will have to check on that recall. No temp really hasnt played a part in it. I tried putting some oil in the line to see if that would help, but that really didnt get me anywhere today. If the checking on the recall doesnt fix it, I'm going to have to break down and take it to the dealership for the first time. I hate giving those guys my money.
