partially locked ebrake, help? Options

[mkernz22]

so i was putting my new radio in today and it works good
but after I was done putting all the plastics in, I put my e brake back down cause i needed to put my car in neutral since i have an auto.
Like i was saying, I put the e brake back down, and the last 3 clicks felt like nothing so I pulled it back up and it was too easy to pull, and I knew something was wrong.
Took my car for a ride around the block and I could hear almost like a whoosh sound from my drivers side.
I pulled the e brake a few times and both wheels would lock and drag, but as I released it slowly, my drivers side would stay locked when the e brake was half off, and my passenger side was free. Once I released it all the way, the drivers side would spin, but you could still hear the whoosh sounds.
I think it's just a little hung up, which isn't too bad because it could have been completely locked.
What would be the quickest way to fix it? I know I will have to go take the wheel, brake, and rotor off, but is there a quicker fix at all?

this is just a greatttt thing to happen on my birthday. wooo

aghhhh, i just hear my dad whackin away and doing stuff down in the garageee
it's most likely something internally cause when i move the wire it will loosen, but also tighten at times
maybe i'll just drive it off (hopefully)

Do you use your ebrake much ?? I know you drive an auto so prob not but it could be the ebrake cable that is seizing up no matter what your gonna have to take it apart and regrease some parts.

no i dont use it much at all
my dad loosened it up a little by giving it some good whacks and just messing around, but im going to have to take it all apart.
i'm going to do it thursday so wish me luck haha
