More that likely that brake cable is rusted. Time to replace both cables.

Yes, I had one stick and the other one I got by with hosing down the inside of the cable with free-all (penetrating oil). But after time the salt around here beats them up. I did mine in pairs new . I spray a little oil under the boots with the new ones to extend their life. 34406769955
