Air brake not wanting to release, what gives?
#3

Could be a few things.

One it takes at least 60 psi to release the brakes. Check your air pressure.
Two, the mount for the release knob could be loose as Adrian said, meaning you are not actually pushing it in as far as you think.
Three, you could have an air leak somewhere in the path between the knob and the brakes.
Four, sometimes the shoes stick. A rap with a mallet is in order.

So, do you hear the typical air whoosh when you press the release knob?
