It might not be the cables.  Neither of my calipers release after using
the parking brake.  I had the cables replaced, but it didn't help.  I'm
just about ready to replace the rubber hoses and put in the bias plugs
and do a full bleed if I can ever find the time.  And this is after
replacing both calipers with quality parts from NAPA.  One of them
twice, by the way.
